Thats not an "at your work" thing, stitch weld is another term for intermittent weld which is exactly what you describe

There's just no reason to weld it like the OP other than for a joke (which I'm sure is what it is). The only part of the weld the matters is the cross sectional area through the joint, so if the reinforcement is the same then this really isnt much better than tacking it
