It means companies refuse to: 1) train people, and 2) pay for talent Businesses have pretty much tapped out the supply of devs who will spend thousands of hours of their own time on l&d for the love of the craft. So now if they want the expertise they have to pay. If I am learning on my own time in order to increase my income I expect to get returns of at least 1cent/hour (and that's the extreme low end). So if I invest 10,000 hours I expect at least a $100/hr return. How many companies complaining about a dev shortage are offering salaries of $300k+/year (intermediate dev salary + $100/hr compensation for all the l&d)?
