"Half of tech workers" is exactly the expected number, completely unsurprising. The absolute null hypothesis. Why? Well, since the days of ENIAC the number of programmers doubled roughly every three years. That means that at any point in time, half have less than three years of experience and thus no idea what they're doing. In the past roughly decade, maybe one and a half, most new devs went into webdev which explains the javascript ecosystem, now AI is getting a taste of that.
