I suspect that 40% drops quite a bit after 6 months of unemployment in the current market. Boom times are over. We're back to falling in line with the rest of the working class, as the capitalists have captured enough of the market to force our hands. It was nice to feel special for a while, though.

But that's only because the proletariat does not collectively own the means of production -- yet.

As far as software goes, the proletariat is the means of production, which explains the focus on getting LLM's to write code.
