Ask HN: Troubling Trends in Your Industry?

(opinions) Industry: software Troubling Trends - Greater outflux of experienced s/w engineers than the influx of new s/w engineers - Higher mention of burnout (based on what I read on HN threads) - Declining quality of software - A dwindling number of researchers working on new technologies, that would replace the existing tech, in the coming years (podcast - Kara Swisher (recode-decode) and Andrew Moore (CMU dean)) Comforting Trends - NoCode trend (especially for the non-tech businesses. non-tech business - if you remove the tech, could the business still be run?) - A lowered barrier to entry in the tech industry and acceptance of self-taught developers It looks like, subject-wise CS is in quite some trouble (if nothing changes, CS would merge as a subject in the other fields of science and engineering). Industry-wise, expertise is consolidating.
