    It’s actually insane seeing how quickly things flipped

    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.
