There is another side of this. Unemployment. Unlike 2000 or 2008, right now would be a terrible time to start a software business because jobs in software are plentiful, wages are so high. So you have to take out bigger loans with more risk and paying wages doesn't produce assets that can be put as collateral. It's a great time to find ways to utilize lower skilled labor somehow, but not for anything that needs top talent.



True. Bad economy is a skillset/industry based thing. I wouldn't characterize tech workers as being in a bad economy right now.
