What you write implies that you think that good programming jobs of the kind available in 2014 are no longer available. I basically think that’s wrong (indeed I think the opposite trend happened) for most HN readers who are able to live and work in US cities, or a few other western cities where such jobs tend to exist. I think it’s generally undesirable to believe false things but believing this particular false thing can be extremely bad if it causes one to not pursue good opportunities. Obviously everyone’s circumstances are different and while I try to add caveats there are inevitably exceptions, but I don’t think they warrant the use of the vaguely broad set of ‘people’ referred to above.
