I've been saying that the market is oversaturated for YEARS now but this just enrages tech bros into insulting me personally. It's very strange.

I always tell me CS/CE/Info students that they should focus on non profits, government agencies, etc. where at least employment will be stable.

Oversaturated?!? Maybe if you're a plebian bootcamp passionless 0.1x-er who hasn't even contributed to multiple open source projects or founded at least 3 startups. Maybe you should try internalizing all PhD-worthy algorithms from the last 30 years to reproduce them on the spot from memory like I did, or else do you really even care about the craft??? You need to understand this industry is full of math olympiad prodigy coder geniuses who work 80 hours a week like me so yeah it's competitive. Nothing oversaturated about that

That was a fantastic impression of reality. Well done.

I don't get why they would insult you, but I have been hunted and not had to find jobs since I finished school, sometimes they fight each other. But it may be not quite the same job, i'm a coder turned game designer

Industry surely has an impact.
