I agree with all said, beside the last two paragraphs. But I'd rather not debate the economical situation.
How do you see IT from the other perspectives?
For example, from the accounting perspective: the profitability of the companies, the cost/benefit ratio, profit per employee, etc.
How the other industries are holding up? Sports? Music? Shows & Movies? Marketing? Law?
We are fortunate that we made the stack very complicated. And the stakeholders believe us that it's organic. Once the stakeholders become IT-proficient, we are doomed (fortunately, as the things stand, that's about never)
The stakeholders won't become any more IT proficient than they have become Accounting proficient. CTOs are IT proficient, and they are enough of the stakeholder.
