(I am on the older side on here probably) Having come from a difficult background, worked some really Shitty jobs and served in the army before I got a degree and started in tech I have been a bit shocked and a bit amused at the endless stream of less than average developers running around demanding to be treated like kings.

An extreme example of demanded privilege.

There has been royalty for IT and slavery for the rest. Look at how Amazon treats their factory / wearhouse workers. They dont treat the IT staff better because they are such great people. Once developers become easy to replace (should that happen) then the whip will make much more of an impression on the deposed royalty.

Or we just have some layoffs, and we have a lot of comapnies hiring still and it just continues just a little less fluffing I
