no. there is absolutely a talent shortage.

as proven by 1) the fact that the percentage of of the general population who have an aptitude for "brainy things" in general is pretty much the exact same as it was 20 years ago and 2) the percentage of companies with a need for said people is growing exponentially as software eats the world.

basically, all of the new-need companies from point 2 are bottom-feeding all of the people from point 1 which applies upward pressure on the talent pool.

because a talented accountant-turned-programmer still leaves a hole that needs to be filled.

feelin' me?

Even if the hole needs to be filled, there is shortage of brainy people without jobs in this world.


I meant to write 'no shortage' but am now past the edit window, sorry
