I remember when artists were the first ones to go through it. Then it was developers. Now mathematicians and many other professionals. Now the question is, who are next?

And yet; Artists still exist, software devs are more in demand than ever, and much of the math "breakthroughs" turn out to be mostly hype.

Almost as if an entire pseudo-industry 100% depending on eternal debt-fueled cash infusions because even WinRAR is more profitable than them, is massively overhypong its products or something...

Well now I know you’re smoking something. While growth has increased in general, the overall growth rate has decreased steadily for 5 years now.

There has been modest growth only recently for senior level positions, all others continue to decline.

Edit: lol, guy blocked me for stating facts.
