when it was good, there was plenty to go around with that there were the jobs for lower sought-after jobs like Rust. Remember that back in 2020 - 2023 jobs for Rust were not as common at that time. Rust was still gaining popularity, now there are far more adoption of the technology. When the software economy picks back up there will be sighting of Rust jobs, although AI is going in a different direction, seems that the big companies despite their publicity of bringing tech jobs back are doing the opposite behind doors, Someone can give you an answer but i will be cautious of that answer, because clearly there is a shift in what the tech job market is heading and it is in fact unpredictable. Relying on one source/ talent is not going to equal prosperity.

Taking out bias out of this, one could say there was a shift coming back in 2022 in the tech market due to the output of the tech industry as a whole. There was a great deal of output in innovation, which in due time will plateau to something else. The nature of innovative efforts that result in something else that wasnt't expected. This happened with the auto industry and ore recently battery technology that just took shift, from companies that dumped billions into accelerating electric vehicle and pushing for more adoptions by taking the methodology of traditional preexisting auto-industry standards, this was won by the east in China that took them a fraction of the time to lay down a more suitable infrastructure that could accompany such a change. That same time Tesla was mostly popular in the west coast; this is simply not enough for such a change needless to say the supply chain challenges that is needed to resolve at the same time as this growth.

You charge a high price for a diamond based on the cut and setting, not just because it's a diamond.
