It sounds like you're dropping some much-needed "tough love" on the Romanian IT scene. The shift from the "golden era" of 2020 to a more calculated, value-driven market is a reality check many are still trying to avoid. Here is the text cleaned up for readability while keeping your specific spacing and direct "real talk" energy.

Real talk for the entire Romanian IT industry: developers are no longer “gods,” and companies can no longer hire in bulk. It’s time for a mindset reset for everyone.

I’ll be direct. The IT market is not what it was in 2020. We’re no longer in the period when a bit of React and a CV in English could bring you at least one offer per week. If you look it up, you’ll find reports showing an 8:1 ratio in favor of demand for IT talent versus the supply of specialists. No one is hiring on an assembly line anymore.

The market has stabilized, but many people are still operating by the old rules or still hoping those days will return.
 
For DEVELOPERS:

• Writing code is no longer enough.
• The market is crowded with entry-level candidates aspiring to senior salaries.
• AI already does a good portion of what a junior used to do in a few days (and by the way, it does it for free).
• What makes the difference? Understanding the business, communicating clearly, and bringing real value.

More concretely: write code that solves problems. Speak clearly like a professional—not like a JIRA ticket.
 
For COMPANIES:

• It’s not 2021 anymore. It’s no longer sustainable to pay €5,000/month for a “remote full-stack developer” just because “that’s what the market does.”
• If you want good people, pay them fairly and respect their time.
• And a personal request: take them out of pointless meetings. Seriously, this has actually become a differentiator in the market. I never thought someone would leave a company because 60% of their time is spent in meetings.
• Avoid clichés like “we’re a family.” Everyone knows it’s unrealistic and often sounds like emotional pressure. Instead, show them your future plans and how they concretely contribute. That way they’ll see whether you truly have a development plan for them—or if the posters on the office walls are just words.
• And don’t rely exclusively on AI and internships (speaking of posters). Your culture shows itself exactly when real pressure hits.

For EVERYONE:

It will be harder than before, but also healthier.

In the future, fewer people will enter IT just for stability (a category that once included me as well). What will remain are those with real passion.

The market will filter both companies that overpromise and developers who underdeliver.

What will remain?

People and teams who understand that IT is more than just technology that sounds “cool.”
