I wish you were right, because finding good engineers is REALLY hard.
- clarry 10y agoAnd finding good software can be really hard.
- njharman 10y agoBeing hard to find does not mean they are scarce. Also, sadly, it does not take good engineers to produce software. There are tons of average and bad engineers. They produce a lot of software. It only takes good engineers produce maintainable, efficient, less buggy software.
- pwang 10y agoAgreed. What a lot of people here in HN don't seem to realize is that the reason why Software Is Eating the World is because software can be really really bad, and still be better than not-software. When presented with "a pile of enterprise Java garbage code produced by crap devs that just barely works", your software customer's BATNA is "pencil and paper". That's a low bar.
