You are blaming things on a class (or perceived class, young and old), when in reality the culprit is scale. At scale, there will always be lots of good people that know exactly what you need them to know. The only part about all of this that will suck is if we don’t have enough companies to keep this a liquid as fuck market. As for the original topic, again, at scale talent is not a large enough multiple to be noticeable. We are entering, or already entered industrial scale computing. We will absolutely be cogs in the machine and will look back in wonder how this small community once lauded the notion of a 10x developer. Where does this hurt? The same place it hurts in love. That for a brief moment to think you were special to someone somewhere is just, ugh, rough.
