I don't know about other programmers but I got out of the game. I still program for myself but I got sick of people asking me for miracles. I was to make them happen but it drained me every time and was consuming my life. The other programmers had a more balanced view (corporate programmers) and didn't think about programming outside of office hours but I couldn't do that. I tried working for a couple of startups but they all failed so I decided to change industries. Programing is essentially problem solving and problem solving can be used almost anywhere. I still program on my own projects but not during work hours and to be honest it feels great.

"but I got out of the game." So what do you do these days, if it is ok to ask?

So what are you doing now? I also got tired of all this corporate bullshit and decided to go to school again...

To clarify, they are not seriously suggesting that there are less programmers at this moment than previously, and they are not eliciting stories of why some programmers have left. The question in the title was a setup for asking for applications to an undefined job. Add "likes nebulous offers" to the list of qualifications.
