My take was: "I was a bro-grammer, I went in because, like, tech was cool man! But I realised that, dude, just being an ass-hat doesn't get you shit. Actually enjoying your work is, like, a big deal! And start ups are cool! And my earlier self was right to want to work at a startup man! Also, hater's gonna hate ;-)" ;-P OK... no where near that bad, but yes. I think the number of people who do a CS degree because they want to get into "tech" is cyclical. I entered after the first dot-com crash. There was no longer talk of big money, but burn out and despair. There were very very few people on CS who were doing the course because they "liked tech". There were a few, but they are not in tech any more. I wonder if there is a cycle for how trendy start ups are. I expect it's in a similar cycle to dot-com boom/bust.
