Engineers that didn't move past src.v35.final.zip version control don't really have jobs today, either.

You would be absolutely shocked how many software projects are still run, to this day, without source control at all. Or automated (or manual) testing. And how many hand crafted artisanal servers are running on AWS, never to be recovered if their EC2 instance is killed for some reason.

    Sure, but that’s a small and shrinking market. Not a source of economic security or growth for its employees, nor for most of its companies (though some have defended niches).

      I've seen growing companies running multiple million ARR through systems like that. It's way more common than you'd think if you're a professional software developer.
