The status quo is untenable???
I am not sure what world you live in, but the world that I live in is one where software engineering salaries and jobs have continued to increase over the last 5, despite all these bootcamp grads and the large increase in CS majors.

But right now, things are really really good for developers who only have a couple years of experience. But perhaps that is going to change as all these junior devs become senior.
