i also think there is still room for sensible consultancies and contracting.
i think the 1000 quid a day for web development companies will have a
major problem however.
and tech sector jobs / spending isnt on the decrease yet, its the rate
of increase that has slowed down - this allows people more time to
breath and do recruitment / development sensibly
at cebit, BT devices crashed and burned - why? they had been rushed
out. BT is essentially a good technology if done right, the same is
true for web sites, the industry just needs to slow its self down
profits need to be had before you double the size of your development
force and once the rate of change in the industry comes under control,
the market will be even more sucessful (however individuals may not)
