Unpopular opinion here: IT as a sector is bound to enter a crisis because so much IT personal is producing no value at all.

I am talking about startups working on products everybody but the owners know are not viable, things like that. I think there is a shift going on because the people owning the enterprises are starting to realize they are pouring money in vaporware and that is leading to cuts.

AI is being used as an escapegoat for these sort of adjustments but half the time what I see is departments who were working on vaporware are getting canned or reassigned to productive work.

I don't do professional development myself but most of my friends do, some of them working on high-profile companies and some of them coding things without which you would have no internet in half America. The vibes I get when talking to them is that IT companies are way oversized because they have so many useless activity going on. It is no wonder people gets sacked eventually. At some point, bubbles burst.
