Demoscene is a fine example where people already continue a tradition as the article suggests, even if not gushing but still trickling. I don't claim computing tech faces such a danger yet. I only tried to put a more familiar spin on what the article says for mechanics.
You went on a tangent and were overly pedantic for some reason. I won't address every single thing I think you are wrong about but I agree with your depiction of our tech bubble and I disagree with your sentiment that nobody who is not american and willing to work for 25K can write BIOS/driver level software.
Your bubble is a threat itself. Pop it or face irrelevance by extinction.

The problem is businessmen wanting to import H1Bs to maltreat them because they want to pay locals non-local (low) salaries. If I could live somewhere that $25K was a reasonable local wage, I wouldn't mind writing code for $25K. I don't, so I'm not amused at the argument that there are no coders available because there are none willing to live far below the local poverty level.
