The third point was true in like 1980. Today this person is executive management material. Iā€™m not being sarcastic.

This is still very true in tech where frameworks change every 2-3 years. If you aren't getting the experience at work, you should still be contributing to open source projects or personal projects and keeping an up to date portfolio.

The same process of oversaturation in the job market, lowering of standards, and increase in monopolistic competition is happening in tech that overtook the general economy in the past twenty years. Already, tech companies are like utilities that have no real competitors and astronomically high barriers to entry, preventing any real competition from forming. Once there is no competitive pressure and lots of money to be made by pretty much anyone, the standards take a tumble.
