There is an oversupply of junior developers, especially in spaces where bootcamps and other quick, nondegree training was creating them. I can certainly sympathize with people who saw development as a route to make a living, but there are only so many developers needed out there. Honestly I think the industry did a lot of people a disservice by making it sound like learning basic coding was guaranteed to yield a good job, since that didn’t take into account the finiteness of the job landscape.

> did a lot of people a disservice Although really, the people who were done the disservice to should have stepped back and realized that if something can be mastered (well enough to do it professionally) by any random person in three months, it wouldn't be a valuable skill. Unless they're so arrogant they think they're just that much better than everybody else.
