For the same reason there isn't a glut of NBA players. Anyone can play, few people can become good enough. Next question. Edit: disagree? Downvote if you want,

- jdminhbg 13y agoI didn't downvote, but programming is nothing like playing in the NBA. The NBA is zero-sum: There are by definition (15 players per team * 30 teams) NBA players in the world. There exists no such hard limit on "good programmers"; if there were more good programmers people would pay them to solve problems that currently go unsolved.
- jshen 13y agoThe NBA has a fixed number of players. The analogy doesn't fit at all. I'll bet if you made 10 new teams, and only allowed them to sign players that other teams don't want, that a number of them would be better than the worst teams in the NBA right now.
