I don't know if finance people would consider me "talented", but as a developer who has been using C++ for over a decade, not once in all that time have I ever wanted to work in HFT. I don't know if that's a solvable problem (maybe higher pay? But I hear they pay well already). Or maybe my perspective is an uncommon one. I just think it's silly to say there's a shortage of C++ devs because a specific industry has hiring difficulties. The article says that it's not a HFT-specific problem, but doesn't go into it.
