Most engineers realize that there's currently more tech debt being created than ever before. And it will only get worse.

No, I think many realize it, but it's easier to deny the asteroid that's about to destroy your way of life than it is to think about optimizing for the reality after impact.

This is such a good analogy, I'll be stealing it
> power loom
When the power loom came around, what happened with most seamtresses? Did they move on to become fashion designers, materials engineers to create new fabrics, chemists to create new color dyes, or did they simply retire or were driven out of the workforce?
