I was here for the 2000 bubble and recovery.

It's gonna get worse still. In fact the AI bubble is bad for programers in general. Much like the original dot com rush this one is "capital intensive", just more so.

Working for a FAANG is how they keep the competition to a minimum. Cushy job, support, free shit good pay... then indoctrinate you into that companies "way" and your gonna have a rough time doing a "start up".

Now they dont need to have all the perks, they just need to be better than "Not them" cause you aren't going to raise enough to compete in AI.

I assure you that in 2-4 years when the next interesting market segment picks up that this will all change again.
