I’m pretty happy for all those sectors to tank, they don’t produce value that people would pay for, while we struggle finding competent people for product startups generating 500k per employee.

Pay them more and you won't struggle.

Hi, union representative!

Do the hard tasks and I pay you exactly this amount. People are, really, so lazy. Yes there is some jQuery in the app, well it’s not the bane of the world, and yes we gotta interact with customers, horror, well deal with it and I pay you exactly the revenue it generates.

But of course everyone wants to have K8s and microservices on their resume, rather than building something people want.

I’ve said almost that to my senior, but he keeps hating the jQuery app. It’s fine with me, but don’t complain.
