I tend to agree. The industry hired more people than the small percent of the population before that were attracted to tech. The jobs needed to change to accommodate all the new, less-tech-interested people. They became more standardized and less thought-involving. More and more jobs are now about using frameworks and writing glue code instead of solving novel problems. Even the new techier-than-average people are likely in less techy jobs. And jobs less oriented to making them grow into their best geek selves. Because the jobs became oriented to hiring neophytes to do the bulk of the work, we also see title compression and a low cap to expected salaries. If someone seems too senior and starts to cost too much, this model allows replacing them with new tabula rasa (bootcamp) workers.
