Yeah, I agree, that was kind of my point.
I see a lot of people who talk about software development as if FAANG is the only game in town, but like you said, our industry is big and only getting bigger. If you know where to look there are tons of laid back tech jobs that don't expect you to eat, sleep, and breath code.
I disagree with you though that there are only a select few who will be able to get these jobs. I think as time goes on, were only going to have more legacy systems that will require knowledge of older languages. Also as tech continues to infiltrate every other aspect of our lives, more and more companies will start to need one or two in house developers to do random tasks where no one cares whether you're using the latest and greatest technology.
