They've increased the amount of entry-level (or really, more intern-level) talent on the market. The biggest talent crunch is for experienced developers, though. Entry-level programmers are having trouble getting hired, and companies are starved for good mid-level and senior developers. And since the ROI on a junior developer is extremely low, and most developers will leave for a higher salary once they've got that first year or two under their belt to prove they're employable, it's not in most companies' interest to hire juniors. So they don't get the chance to become mid-level developers. And round and round we go.
