Actual author here. Wrote this post last night to express my thoughts on hiring trends I've noticed but mostly to thank a friend of mine, went to bed, woke up to a bunch of tweets and one of my other friends said my post was on Hacker News. I have read everyone's comments and will try to answer as many of them as possible. Thanks for all the feedback everyone, no matter how positive or negative. It's interesting reading all of your perspectives. This made my day!
