Strange article. The author deliberately mis-quotes a bunch of sources to get his outrageous title, then calls bullshit on it. Then he goes in and actually reads the articles he's calling out, using quotes from them to support his point, which is also the point of the articles he's calling out.
Everybody knows that this statistic refers to people applying for jobs, not working programmers. Everybody who's ever tried to hire in this industry has observed it first hand. Every article about it goes to pains to explain that it's a problem involving unemployable programmers applying for jobs they don't deserve.
I'm not sure who this author thinks he's arguing with.
