I'm really starting to wonder if we're in a "developer bubble."
Everyone wants to learn to code. Every other week there's a blog post on "why everyone should learn to code." Last year, NYC Mayor Bloomberg posted his new years resolution was to learn to code[0]. Soaring enrollments is just another sign.

- ebiester 14y agoWe're seeing the start again. It's happened before. Talk to some of the old timers who were there for the early 1990s before the web. Eventually, businesses are going to have their must-do bespoke applications done, or there will be enough powerful packaged applications that do what all these bespoke apps are doing now. And we'll again have a mass migration from tech, until the next great thing comes along. I think of it as a series of gold rushes. The good news is I think we may have a good 40 years before the gravy train runs out.
