Мода на то «вкат» в IT появилась задолго до пандемии и массового распространения удаленного формата работы. Я помню пасты на двачах и мемы про «300кк/наносек синьора-помидора» в 2016-2017 годах - уже тогда многие стремились попасть в эту сферу из-за высоких зарплат и относительно низкого порога входа.
