Seriously tho - I've been playing with creating an http4k MCP SDK for the last 2 months and am obsessive about the devex - testability/simplicity are critical. Am getting there (esp with proposed changes around state/security) but sometimes it feels like an in the minority

Also, I think if we extend the graph out so we take into account the previous multi-decade growth pattern for the sector, it might look slightly different. And then finally add average compensation to the mix... 🙃
