This article seems like mostly bullshit once you reach the the point in the article that concludes that the talent crunch is due to SV "taking itself too seriously." I'm not currently an SV engineer and I'm not entirely sure I want to be, but the claim is patently ridiculous. And as a side gripe about the article, it annoys me at least a little for everyone to be diminished to "coders" by someone who admittedly hasn't put in the time to learn basic programming. As far as I'm concerned, "coder" is a half step above "code monkey" and the engineers building the next Google or Facebook or any moderately successful tech company are not code monkeys.
