>> I don't know if the same thing could happen in my new life as a web dev, Doubtful TBH "Front-end dev" here in the Midwest. Even when the economy tanked in 2008, I barely noticed and I was working as a contractor. I still had recruiters calling for contract work. We had a lot more people come into the industry via the banks and small businesses who went under in the crash, but even then, it wasn't a huge deal. I'm always hedging my bets the bottom will fall out eventually. Even when people thought our roles would drop off, whoosh suddenly everybody wanted to convert all their stuff to Javascript apps and everything took off again. Right now, more back-en devs are getting into the JS scene and "full stack" development is back in vogue. I still concentrate heavily on the UI/UX side and have been picking up JS work more and more. There's such a shortage of good JS developers that if you're a mid to senior level JS developer, you're going to have tons of options and a solid future. If you don't want to do contract work, land a stable role at a large corporation and hunker down for a few years and see which way the wind blows then. |

Prediction: the next one will snap back on people looking to turn everything into WASM apps.
