Tech doesn't need a steady pipeline there has been a huge increase in demand.
Where after you looking with shitty wages and awful working conditions? And what other career paths do you think these people bailed out into that have better pay?
- AstralStorm 10y agoSure it does need more talent, but alleged pipeline has been stalled by multiple factors. 1) Foreign and outsourced labour taking the entry level jobs preventing experience from accumulating. 2) Turning many jobs into glorified web apps and CRUD. Can't really go senior on that. You could on OSS or big and long personal projects but that takes a lot of time and thus money.
- sanswork 10y ago1) Very few people are going to go through the hassle of sponsoring an overseas worker for a junior role. It's a pain in the ass. I think this is an issue that is hugely over stated. 2) I don't know if you remember this but back before everything was a crud web app they were crud desktop apps. Most development work just isn't ever that exciting. Lastly you don't consider at all that demand has outpaced the pipeline.
