This was already happening during the first dot.com boom. The time I studied CS. In Belgium banks would provide cars and a paycheck while you were still graduating in your last year.

This attracted a lot of people who weren't really passionated about programming.

Now years later I was hiring during the bank crisis and I interviewed CS students who got their degree but couldn't find a job. I couldn't understand that if you have your degree and are out of job in 2 years you haven't written a single line of code on a hobby project. But these people exist.

These people will be always there in any field.
