It’ll be a depressing time when the demand for engineering is lower than supply. Until then people with needs larger than resources will find alternatives to “finding competent engineers.”

That said, Espressif seems to be moving past pure embedded and positioning themselves in IoT, for example the latter part of ESP-IDF stands for IoT Dev Framework. This allows them to provide a single way of doing things regardless of implementation within the broad ESP32 family.

Will the results be the equivalent of Frontpage websites? Sure, and as any of those start getting the resources to need and use “competent engineers” they will unlike the efforts that would never have gotten off the ground.
