Well, you will see this as paranoia then: There were lots of people arguing like you that there were no bubble -- just until it burst.
For instance, this "everyone learn to code to earn money" thing imho indicates that it is highly likely that the programming profession will burst in a short while. Again. (The reason there is a lack of software people now is at least partly because everyone stopped studying computer science after the IT death.)

- runawaybottle 13y agoThis is the part that I've been concerned about as well, "everyone learn to code". The truth of the matter is if you're about to head into college, it's very difficult to see any hope of getting a job in all but a few industries. Software is one of the bright spots in the economy right now, so we will absolutely see a huge influx of programmers in the coming years. I don't know how this will impact the current crop of developers going forward, but I do hope the industry gets bigger with things like more hardware to develop for (Google glass, car software like the dashboard in the model s, 3d printing, etc). If it doesn't, then the tides will definitely turn as I just don't think we need that many web/app developers.
