I suspect that your reference to "hysteria" may be in response to my comments about overseas outsourcing.

Absolutely not. It didn't enter my head.

I suggest you reach out to a few of the IT veterans who've lived through having a once superb career become a daily struggle to stay employed.

Why would I need to reach for anyone else's experience? I am a long-term software developer.

The world is changing fast and we have to change with it.
