It's not too hard to find people who actually possess those skills, but it's very difficult to hire them: They don't generally apply to you, you apply to them.

- gaius 18y agoLOL yeah, it was like that in the late 90s too. Then NASDAQ imploded and all the "rockstars" got a reality check.
- icey 18y agoDefine the "Reality check" you're talking about? When the dotcom burst happened, I got a big fat pay raise to guarantee I'd stick around at the firm I was at. [Edit: I realize this wasn't terribly clear. Those of us who knew what we were doing at the burst generally didn't hit hard times; but the developers who were in the industry because they saw it as an easy paycheck are the ones who got hurt. In that way, the burst was good for our industry - it helped separate the wheat from the chaff.]
- astrec 18y agoThose "rockstars", by definition would be the wannabes, who then, as today, are in ample surplus.
