One of the things that used to make the volatility of this industry somewhat stomachable was that it was always pretty fluid, and you could always get another job fairly reliably if you got let go, if you had a good reputation. It does kind of feel now, based on what I’m hearing, like the music’s stopped. There are so many *amazing* people with proven records of success that suddenly can’t find a foothold. It’s more than just a recession — the threat of automation seems existential.
