i think the shift will be from craftmens to trademens in regards to general software engineers, but these are type of writes up stem of a artisan style all to its own.


We have been seeing this shift for a while, where "software engineers" graduate from 3 month bootcamps. Except now most likely they will not be earning 500k making crud apps.


and thats a good thing


I call bullshit. What 3mo bootcamp grads were earning 500k writing CRUD apps? Zero.


What about the incredible front end Devs that only know JS/CSS/HTML? They can still be true craftspeople in their art, be it cross-browser/platform issues or performance tweaking.


Compare python devs of today to fortran devs of the 60s. Something like that distance. Maybe more. But the trend isnt new.
