    I don’t believe this is a new concept. IIRC, the same claim was made around 20 years ago.

    I suspect these things go through cycles like everything else.

    We should definitely be paying attention when the developers of critical infrastructure begin to burn out.

    Eh. We’ve always been unpaid. I guess now everyone is noticing because tech companies make billions off of our work.
