It’s sad to see tech starting to become like doctor/lawyer type careers. The professionalization of the field means less innovation, and that I never could’ve entered it as I did back in the day.

That working your way up path is closed now. Unless you attended a top 10 school if you’re just getting started, forget a decent job. Requiring a CS degree for fucking around with CSS is like requiring a Master’s Degree for being a receptionist — but that’s the way the world is moving.

Soon, there will be the rich and the connected. And then all the rest.
