I remember when Leftist journalists were let off en masse in 2017-2019 post the Trump-Hillary election, when their propaganda posts were no longer needed, they began making blogs and articles complaining.
The response mocking them was "Learn to code."
This was back when 'Learning to Code' was a genuine career. Someone living in the United States could learn to code and in 3 years time have a genuine job making great money. @Jason Voorhees can attest to this.
This meme was actually pretty big if you can remember. To the point where if literally anyone complained about their financial situation, the response would be "Learn to code."
Because learning to code was easy, and making money from knowing how to code was even easier.
What is the result?
Huge oversaturation of the software engineering job market. post 2019
[enrollment in computing science degrees by year, a degree which 90% of people just use to get a software engineering job instead of actually using it for hardware related jobs]
I fully believe Billionaires peddled this meme hard. Literally every Right wing propaganda voice in the US was echoing the joke. [Like Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk.]
They actually played us Goys like a fiddle.
These Tech CEOs didn't like paying their software engineers so much so they forced an over saturating of the Job market. Holy lol.
