I define the crash as such:

the majority of US-based companies and businesses, even giants like FAANG, realize that their fart apps (real or imagined) either aren’t making them any money or are no longer worth the trouble. they shutter their divisions that work on software and no longer want to hire software engineers, claiming that there is no work for them.

with this change, there is now a massive glut of software engineers of varying competencies and seniority on the market. supply far outstrips demand. what little software development or general computer-touching positions still exist are heavily competitive and reserved for only the most senior or the most shrewd.

programming is now about as useful in getting and keeping a job as a stint flipping burgers at wendys. you’ll see walmart greeters who used to work at google. tech no longer wants to share any of its money, or no longer has money.

this is all a reflection of my fears that the industry i tied my livelihood to stretches itself too thin and decides that nah gently caress you you don’t food or housing.

i remember people posting things like this in the slashdot comments section in like 2003.

it’s telling that the scariest thing to tech workers is “I’ll have to make only as much money as most people do”.

god, what a nightmare this world’s become.

ok this one is actually scary.
