Where I come from, you don't need a license (or any kind of study) to become a developer. That means the market is loaded with incompetent people who just don't mind grabbing a framework and learning about programming in the process. And if they fuck up, they fuck up.

They don't make much money initially, and it can take a few years before they become journeymen.
