It does feel like the barrier to entry for that kind of deep knowledge career is increasing these days. Maybe it's because I live outside the United States, but it seems like it's much harder to build a "pathway" into work that demands that intensive, deep understanding of engineering on computers. At least one that'll pan out in my 9-5. The supply of problems that require deep knowledge vs framework Kung Fu... my impression from ground level is they're tilting more towards GitHub martial arts every year. The supply of companies outside the United States with a deep interest in these topics is sparse, to say the least.
