And certain areas in tech are harder to enter too. Web-dev a decade ago was easy to start, now every site you might be familiar with when starting out uses the RIDICULOUS_OVERKILL.js framework, SASS/LESS because CSS is for amateurs!, OBSCURE backend and THIS_WEEK's database. Plus npm and these 600 plugins to make development "easier".

Makes spaghetti php of bygone years look like lesson in modernism.
