I read things like this and it makes me concerned that it's a sign of the party ending for developers. I'm sure OP was doing this tongue-in-cheek but the fact that it was written at all is a sign of hubris caused by an apparent software engineering work bubble.

I've been in IT for 20 years now and the last few I've been making unbelievable money, fully expecting it to end any minute now. Stuff like this makes me fear it is going to end soon.

Serious question: How does something like this you perceive as hubris indicate that the end is coming?

I felt the same way as the OP right before the dot com bust. Then all the startups went out of business and the only way to get a decent job was to know a recruiter for a big company.
