demand is created, jobs don't fall from the heavens like manna, it's people who pick new technologies and turn them into established ones, start companies and use them. Reminds me of a PG essay on why he chose Lisp when barely anyone else was doing it.
"Robert and I both knew Lisp well, and we couldn't see any reason not to trust our instincts and go with Lisp. We knew that everyone else was writing their software in C++ or Perl. But we also knew that that didn't mean anything. If you chose technology that way, you'd be running Windows. When you choose technology, you have to ignore what other people are doing, and consider only what will work the best."
