"Software is draining talent needed in other areas of science and engineering" is begging the question. No matter what pretty lies we tell ourselves about needing those other engineering projects, if they can't afford to bid for the talent, we haven't bothered to allocate the resources that would enable them to succeed. I would never advise those students to take the penalties for diverging so far from what society actually wants from them, whatever I think of social mobile gamification of cat pictures.
