The weird thing about the phenomenon you mention is only after the field of software engineering has plateaued 15 years ago, as you mentioned, that this insane demand for engineers did arise, with corresponding insane salaries.
It's a very strange thing I've never understood.

The tech existed, we just didn’t know how to use it. We still barely know how to use computers effectively, and they have already transformed the world. For better or worse.
