Actually, I think the field is pretty mature at this point. I think it's more an issue of that fact that the barrier to entry is so low and that if someone has a hard time identifying a bad developer, they'll have a hard time identifying a good one too.
- coderdude 16y agoI'm framing that statement in perspective to almost all other imaginable fields of work. I'll concede that it may not be the cause for all the bad developers -- low barrier to entry seems like a much more likely cause, but I do not believe that this field has matured yet. Almost no one on the planet was selling web development services just 18 years ago, so it stands to reason that the field is not very mature yet. At least in my opinion.
