Will it be hard to get software developer job in ~5 years?

Agreed, you're also forgetting the React/Python Coursera bros and the bootcamp bros.

I think there is a massive bubble in tech, the amount of money some people are being paid for deploying CRUD mobile apps is mind-boggling, but that's not even the start, when you look at their bosses being paid two-three times as much for setting up the docker/kubernetes env and.

I don't think these things or CS are as prohibitively hard or difficult as most people on here make them out to be. I'm extremely surprised 99.9% of jobs haven't already been outsourced to the 3rd world, my best guess for this is that they had 5kb internet until recently, but if you look at YouTube now you see people all over the world giving tutorials and making videos on the hippest trendy frameworks and development practices. You could probably go to a jungle village and find some guy on a 2004 Dell laptop with Eclipse in his recycle bin and a React/Redux wallpaper.

Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but, I feel like come the next recession salaries are going to spiral downward and the "true" cost of talent will be revealed. Again, maybe I'm just a doomer.
