> The need for very senior technical people is often not very high and there is not much of the type of work that these people could do. I don't buy this. There are bizillions of technical challenges, people are waiting for any sort of relief from Covid, Climate Change and all the other - sometimes more happy - challenges of every day life. Few of these things can be solved in a purely technical way. But we rather want to work on commodity problems. This observation ironically holds true not only in Software Engineering but probably anything Tech/Science related. On the one hand there are these really obvious problems that need so many people hours and on the other hand everything slightly difficult is too risky, too expensive or just too much work.
