There's two things going on. One is, yes, I think the quality of work mostly sucks all over. But the other is it's a down part of the cycle and there's just a glut of us all, and a bit of disrespect from employers as well. It's been a long time since we had one, and many people either didn't work through one before, or have forgotten. That part will bounce back. In 5 years it'll be a crazy job market again, and having Rust on your resume will be valuable. (To put it in perspective, I learned and wrote Python in 1996, 1997. And I really liked it. But nobody even knew what it was, and nobody would hire for it. I moved on, and lost my taste for dynamically typed languages, and then all the sudden Python was huge, and if I'd stuck with that, it would have been a big thing for me, I guess. I suspect a similar thing will happen with Rust, etc. At least I hope so, since Rust is my day-job :-) )
