Is that the premise? Seems to be saying that constantly changing skills exhausts developers to the point that it becomes more lucrative to work in another profession.
Although, I suppose learning new things just to tread water can be boring too.
This is how I read it too. That a fast learners skill is degraded in a field that is constantly reset (software dev) vs one where you can stack knowledge. And thus the fast learners will eventually leave the software field and transition to one that doesn’t reset constantly so they can stand out more.
Doesn’t have to do with boredom so much as maximizing potential.
