Ask HN: What percentage of developers switched careers after the 1999 crash?
- PaulHoule 4y agoI switched from being a physicist to being a software developer after the crash. Software still looked like a much better business where I would actually be wanted and it was clear at the time that the fundamentals were good it was just the finance that was temporarily screwed up.
- dagw 4y agoI went back to school, finished my degree, got my masters in mathematics, and then went back to being a (much better paid) developer working on much more interesting things.
