A gold rush is a period of feverish migration of workers into the area of a dramatic discovery of commercial quantities of gold.
Gold rushes were typically marked by a general buoyant feeling of a "free for all" in income mobility, in which any single individual might become abundantly wealthy almost instantly.
The significance of gold rushes in history have given a longer life to the term, and it is now applied generally to capitalism to denote any economic activity in the participants aspire to race each other in common pursuit of a new and apparently highly lucrative market, often precipitated by an advance in technology.

 After the Gold Rush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the Gold Rush is the third album by Neil Young, and one of four high-profile albums released by each partner of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in the wake of their chart-topping Déjà Vu album of 1970.
Although his work with Buffalo Springfield had shown him experimenting with a variety of musical styles, on Gold Rush Young continued the mix of hard rock with the country and folk-flavored acoustic approaches from CSNY and on 1969's Everybody Knows This is Nowhere.
Most of the album was recorded at a makeshift basement studio in Young's modest Topanga Canyon home during the spring of 1970 with Greg Reeves, Ralph Molina of Crazy Horse, and burgeoning eighteen musical phenom Nils Lofgren of the Washington, DC-based band Grin on piano.

 IEEE Software: From the Editor - January/February 1999
During a gold rush, having thousands of individual software developers take on entrepreneurial risk voluntarily—with one in a thousand striking it rich and the rest chalking their losses up to experience—is tremendously beneficial from a macroeconomic point of view.
But from the entrepreneurial gold rush point of view, paying $130 million for the one success in a thousand is a cheap alternative to funding thousands of entrepreneurial experiments internally, nearly all of which would ultimately be dead ends.
Gold rush software projects are essential to the forward march of technology and vital to the economy.

After laboring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called "perfect"--with his third album.
Here we have so many terrific songs like "Tell Me Why", "After The Goldrush", and his smash hit, "Southern Man", that it is hard to remember that this is just one of several such albums he released in short order over a three or four year period.
However, every fan of Neil Young recognises that ATGR has a certain lure: maybe just one or two songs are memorable to them, but aren't enough to constitute Young's best piece of music in their opinion.

 BW Online | May 29, 2002 | After the Gold Rush
Among the factors propelling gold's rise early this year were its appeal as a simple hedge against the uncertainties caused by the Enron meltdown and other accounting woes faced by Corporate America, loose fiscal and monetary policy in the U.S., sovereign default in Argentina, and the worrisome specter of deflation in Japan.
Suffice to say that the borrowing of gold and yen, which puts downward pressure on prices, is typically a cheap way to finance investment or speculative positions in other assets such as equities or Treasuries.
And the flip-side is recent strength in gold and yen -- indicative of a reduction in leverage as risk-aversion rises.

In ATGR he defines engineering as "the application of scientific principles toward practical ends".
My reading of ATGR was that the software profession needs to strive to become more like other professions.
Although I agree with the idea that software management (as a profession) is the root cause of the problem, I'd hazard a guess that one major reason so many CS degreed people stop is that they are riding that Gold Rush trying to cash in on big money.

The poll also found that a slight majority of residents disapproved of the Legislature's handling of a budget shortfall the previous year, which was eliminated largely through accounting shifts, budget reserves and small spending cuts.
In Minnesota, shortly after Gov.-elect Tim Pawlenty released his budget proposal for dealing with the state's shortfall, a February 2003 poll commissioned by the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Minnesota Public Radio found that about 60 percent believed Pawlenty was cutting the right amount from state budget, while 27 percent said he should raise taxes.

But much of "After the Gold Rush" consisted of folk-country love songs, which consolidated the audience Young had earned through his tours and recordings with CSNY; its dark yet hopeful tone matched the tenor of the times in 1970, making it one of the definitive singer/songwriter albums, and it has remained among Young's major achievements.
