I saw this play out while I was at Sun Microsystems as the dot com bubble burst in 2001–2004. When companies transition from high growth to slow growth or begin shrinking it isn’t just a small change, it needs a fundamentally different approach to management and the culture of the company.

It only took a couple of years for tech to recover from the 2001 dot-com crash. Tech has had a pretty easy ride for the last twenty years.

US corporate spending on tech is at its highest since 2001. This is a far cry from where the tech sector in the US was just 3 years ago, so it's worth looking at the near-term durability of the tech sector bull market. This is being driven by extraordinarily high corporate profitability and a surge in US manufacturing.

This could simply be the next stage of what may be a multi-year bull run for tech, similar to its 1983-2001 bull run that had several mini-cycles. That's great during a bull market, but painful during a bear market. There's no certainty of how this will play out.

Recessions in 2001 (when businesses reigned in unrestrained tech spending) and 2008 (when businesses reigned in all spending) tightened belts and increased operational scrutiny. In most large companies, a v-level manager used to be able to make capital decisions up to $1m. Empirically, I've seen that drop to $100k in most large firms.

When I first joined Sun in 2001, it was believed that Sun was too big to fail, as well. There was a phenomenon in Solaris where we, the engineers, began doing our own marketing and evangelism, out of desperation to save Solaris. I've never found that happening in Linux, where there's the belief that Linux is too big to fail.
