It’s hard to imagine that the market for devs who have fluency, understanding, wisdom, and depth, who can quickly and reliably deliver value against challenging problems, could ever be saturated.
People calling themselves software engineers, absolutely. People who can pass today’s interviews, doubtful but maybe. People who are actually good, who can get mental hooks into what is going on and use their tools fluently to address it, probably not.

People who are actually good, who can get mental hooks into what is going on and use their tools fluently to address it, probably not. Wildly amusing that these two things are mutually exclusive. There's a clear difference between an expert engineer/architect and an expert computer scientist.
- chillacy 7y agoThe bar for interviews gets higher every year in accordance with the population of devs and study resources as well. A question that was hard 5 years ago is today’s easy - medium question.
