The biggest problem with software employment is missing fundamentals, poor training, and poor leadership. When employers advertise a software job, for example, they focus most importantly on language and tools. The focus is not about delivering a solution, despite all intentions to the contrary, but how to do a job (literacy). The result of that systematic failure is an artificial perception of talent shortage. When people are unwilling to offer a solution developers instead turn to tools to fill that gap as though they can outsource experience and training for a product (typically free permissively licensed products). Many software developers, as my experiences on HN suggest, are horrified to even address this problem and proposals are demonized. Every other industry has solved this problem. I suspect that if the industry is unwilling to address this matter it will take some catastrophic event and government will solve it for the industry.
