@Shlomo @dickflatteningenthusiast One thing I see in technical fields is a field will have a high bar of entry because it takes real ability to develop new techniques and tools. Then it becomes hot, people flood in and a lot of the techniques and tools become commodified, reducing the barrier of entry to a git clone command or an app download.

This is fine. To complain is like complaining that all it takes to use a computer or a car these days is pushing the ON button. You once had to actually build your own computers and cars.

But the spark that you enjoyed working in the original field is gone.

It's a cycle, and it's good to recognize as a young person rather than getting hung up on, Who moved my cheese? Still makes you miss the old days.
