I think the problem is that people are finding that having that top 10% kind of person is basically required to stay competitive. There's considerable effort on the other side of the coin too, in designing systems from foolproof patterns that 80% of the job market can learn. The fact of the matter is that this is an industry where 5 people from the top 2% of the market can disrupt and displace 500 from the middle 50%. In my opinion that's why YCombinator is so successful.
