The "tech bubble" is mostly a VC fueled startup phenomena in Silicon Valley. It pushed up salaries across the board near there but did not spread beyond a couple of locations in major cities. Even that is probably not worth mentioning when you consider the higher cost of living and the crazy hours alot of people were required to work in order to earn those salaries. If you're part of the startup scene, it may be harder to leap into a similar or better startup roll as, I agree, that bubble may burst anytime soon. But then you either wait it out or join the regular mortals coding away and still producing multiples of their salary in value.
