Is that so different from the world of startups?

  At least we in tech can easily practice our craft outside of the startup world and remain financially secure.

  Startup employees largely have better working conditions (even those who let themselves get conned into unpaid overtime) and softer landings. I remember a retrospective on a photo-sharing startup did the rounds a couple of years ago: it was a failure as a business but the developers were well-paid and able to walk into fresh software jobs at a good salary.

    It was founders, not employees, I had in mind. It's a massive longshot, survivor bias clouds our thinking, and you need connections.
