Reading the article and now this, I really can't grok this perception. There are plenty of us out here, I think, it's just we're buried in the heap caused by mass resume farming, aka modern recruiting. Recruiters and hiring managers don't think of me as a senior dev with 15 years writing software and delivering value to end-users... I'm just YA candidate who doesn't have any experience in the latest JS framework du jour, so I might as well not exist.

As for finding people like yourself, all I kept hearing was that they had trouble finding new people to fit their specific needs. I agree with you though, there is likely a lot of missed opportunities due to the resume farming going on and bad filters.
