I don't really get the point.
So at the moment, today, tech industry isn't dead / crashed . So we can find people who said that it will and point at them that they were wrong. And if the crash comes tomorrow, are we going to say 'well, it was predicted soooo', do the usual post-fact rationalization on how obvious it was, etc.
But so what? We can do exactly this for any prediction whatsoever. Wars, financial crashes, economical and political events, etc. People, from cab drivers to executives and ministers, make wrong predictions all the time.
I honestly don't see the point of it, other than highlight that someone was wrong and... feel good about yourself that you were on the winning side this time?
Should we stop predicting? Yeah, probably. But the ending 'And now Trump thinks we’re in a tech bubble too, so maybe it’s true.' doesn't really deliver this message.
