>> The great software developers, indeed, the best people in every field, are quite simply never on the market. This is flat out wrong. It's not true. It's false. I've recruited hundreds and hundreds of people and they were ALL on the market and I know for an absolute fact that many of them turned out to be really really outstanding developers. So it's wrong. In my experience as a tech recruiter and some-time searcher for employment in development - the real lemons are the recruiting processes of many companies. Vast numbers of people/companies simply do a flat out bad job of assessing and interviewing and selecting developers.
