What is the real solution for highly complex technology like IT, as end times are coming?

It's a critical issue. Resources are wasted, and soon we won't be able to waste as much as we did, as the abundance era is coming to an end. The desire and need for higher efficiency through highly complex technology is only to increase, as the population gets older and older.

I can easily see mandatory IT training (like the current mandatory army training in some countries) and states standardizing certain technologies to avoid fragmentation and thus freezing progress, for good reasons. Like forbidding any database to be used in production except 3 most complete ones or banning all web frameworks except React and Svelte (arbitrary). It's not that they won't want progress, but they won't be able to afford progress and the resulting skill fragmentation in the IT workers while people are hungry and money is ever tighter.
