But programmers are in high demand because of the many artificial barriers that are put up to keep most of them out of work. Just because you have a programming job now does not mean you will make it through the 16 weeks of programming trivia that the next employer expects before considering you a potential hire.
I may agree that it is not a convincing argument for anyone, doing any job, but I'm not sure the programmer part makes any difference.
- s73v3r_ 9y agoI'm not sure that I can agree with your statement. Most non-crappy developers can have a new job within a week or so.
- randomdata 9y agoI really don't know if I agree with yours. As a developer in a rural area, while there are certainly jobs for programmers, they are never advertised. You have to find them by word of mouth. It could easily take more than a week just to discover what jobs are available. Moving isn't realistic within the span of a week. Remote might be an option, but brings its own challenges.
