> now is a fantastic time for the tech industry to adopt change because your talent recruiters are probably struggling to find and retain new developers

Unfortunately, this will likely change much sooner and more rapidly then most of us expect. The music is stopping and chairs are about to be removed. It was great while it lasted, but all good things come to an end.

After working though the dotcom bust and the subprime fiasco it seems a bit dramatic

although I'm also not beyond my means and have some savings this time (didn't last time and it got hairy)

in general i worry more about other people in much worse situations that I'm unable to help

I’m not sure I agree, but I’m positive this isn’t a barrier to adoption right now. Recruiters are really looking for an edge to provide differentiation, and “friendlier, faster process” is a big one.

What has changed in the past 20 years? Because this sounds like the same shit I’ve heard since entering the industry. And it isn’t like this topic is new at all.
