While I don't agree with the author's opinion on a whole, one thing to note is that most low level programming/testing jobs are now automated and the skillsets required for programmers have changed drastically. We use jhipster for spring boot development and it has take most of our work programming for the business "glue". Within few minutes we had to start working on business logic. Traditionally a programmer had to create the dependency libraries, create the controller, services etc but they are all automated now. What we are lacking is devs who can think from Business perspective and quickly work on it. I am lucky to have two programmers who do think on their feet but it took me close to an year rummaging thru outsourcing websites. The game has changed, it has not shutdown
