It's actually insane seeing how quickly things flipped or at least how quickly the popular sentiment did. I saw whispers of it which was part of my cope from swapping away from that to IT (which I do genuinely enjoy more than coding most of the time) but a lot of people got completely hosed. What industry is getting rug-pulled next I wonder?
(Pointing to the comp sci industry helped my friends understand some of the Marxist theory I like to espouse and point to during drinking sessions and might have them join the local chapter of my org though so capitalism is truly the best radicalization tool)
it's you, comrade
This image gets me every time. The the sheer force you see in the dude. Love it

It is. But not entirely unfamiliar. I think we're going through upheaval and the people who are the best trained will be well positioned when things level out. Some types of tech jobs will be gone, but this is also not entirely unfamiliar.
And I mean best trained young people, of course. I don't think ageism has gone anywhere in this field.
The ageism is insane considering some aspects of development and certain software benefit from insane legacy skills. It somewhat bleeds into IT but luckily due to the way much of it is built up skill and experience are important enough to overcome it in many paths.
