Business with no real plan for making money failed. Business who depended on the clients being able to pay ridiculous prices with the VC money failed. Basically, if it didn't provide critical and provable value to a business, its money sources dried up, and it failed. Tons of people were laid off. They stopped paying devs stupid high salaries, and competition for jobs was _fierce_. My advice, find your way to a company that saves other companies lots of money (and makes that clear to them), that makes something other companies can't live without, or is so tightly integrated with the functioning of its clients that they can't get rid of it even if they want to. Also, live frugally, and save money for the coming storm because there's a good chance you'll get laid off. It doesn't matter how skilled you are or how invaluable you think you are.
