People have been suggesting learning to code for most of the century due to job security. Not with a single company, but rather with the assumption that if a startup failed or a big company did some layoffs they’d easily find a new job.
Now everyone is getting a stronger reminder of the danger of correlated failure than even the dotcom bust, because back then people could bail out into the boring business world where all of the companies who’d been failing to hire web developers were finally able to get sufficient numbers but now it’s different because companies are much further along their digital transitions and since the market risk is intentionally created by the President there aren’t any safe sectors.
I mean… Maybe not job security in this current job but I feel like if my company were to go belly up Id have something else even before getting bored of unemployment
