The tech bubble is popping as we speak.

It’s going to be interesting to see individuals who never had to build software in the days without free money.

Might be good for our industry, which IMO is in shambles, with mountains of over-engineering and complexity that has spread like a parasite consuming its host from the inside.

Google made $20 billion in Q1. Is it really a bubble?

Tech? I don't know why people strictly consider Google a tech company when its an advertising company and makes most of its money from that.

[badrabbit → Grazester]

Well it doesn't advertise on billboards, it adverises on websites and search results.

Of course. Even google has been tightening their spending in recent years. A great example is limiting promotion opportunities.
