Just don't do it too often, or the employers may notice the pattern and start asking about it at job interviews.
You raise a valid point. However, programming contracts are often 3-12 months. It's not really exceptional behavior to a lot of employers :)
This sounds like a different side of the planet. (checks user details) Yes, it is. :D
Here the cultural preference is one employment for life for average jobs, and for IT jobs I would guess 5 or 10 years per job. (For more adventurous people, there is an opportunity to do 3-12 months contracts for foreign companies, but this includes either a lot of travelling or living abroad. This is mostly done as a sole proprietorship, which means that if you happen to screw up something, say goodbye to your property. I have considered that too, but unfortunately I hate travelling.)
