>good dev is a scarce resource Indeed it is and always will be. But the issue is that companies don't need good devs. They need "make the thing work" devs. And if they can make the thing work for long enough to generate revenue, it's all that matters. Driving customer value down while at the same time depressing wages, and telling both parties to just deal with it. It's become the standard operating model for all large companies now.
