Its a bubble / bust mentality though. I remember a lot of people pivoting from finance (the previous "winner" of high salary, high growth opportunities pre mortgage crash especially) to tech, that also corresponded with the rise of this culture, IMO. Still was happening until maybe very very recently, MBA's were flooding the tech sector looking for opportunities, founding companies etc. Unsurprisingly, this is when "hustle culture" and the explosion of management roles started to take off in earnest. Craftsmanship isn't a bubble / bust mentality. Good work should stand the test of time, as it were.
