   Updating mostly for myself: Using convection worked great. The time needed went from 26 minutes to 16, and the crust is better. I baked at 500, but will probably reduce to 475 next time.

    I’ve been thinking about this for a while. My view is that the software-is-eating-the-world theory is essentially correct and so demand will exceed supply indefinitely. That of course doesn’t mean the jobs will be as well paying as they are
