Yep, that is what I allude to in my previous comment. Thanks for adding your specific insight.
People in the UK talk about the skills shortage...your comment is exactly what I say in response: what shortage do we have of universities? What shortage do we have of young people willing to use their skills or learn new things? What shortage do we have of job applicants in these roles? We have all the people but go into almost any company (or govt), and look who is managing. It isn't only old people either, I remember interviewing for a place that has had open roles of years, missed the upturn...I interviewed and said told him I hadn't done a11y front-end before (this was full-stack), it was a deal-breaker...as if I could never learn another thing in my life....this guy was a dev.
The thing with govt really gets under my skin because it is so bad and the country needs better. The upside is massive. It is excruciating.
