In my experience, your point is mostly true in academia and business settings. The "foundation" layer of CS only brings a negligible number of jobs. But with the global availability and affordability of computing devices plus the global knowledge base of the web curious geeks never had so much opportunities to learn and practice.

Other sources of hope are retro computing communities, emulation devs, FPGA scene (Mister) for hardware side, assembly devs / optimization communities for software side. Hardware changes slowly make current system design choices obsolete. Persistent RAM, TBs of RAM will require low level OS redesign sooner than expected.
