Are those job opportunities you want? For me, maintaining poorly-written code bases is not enjoyable.

  Screw the maintenance, but I don't mind being the one to do the rewrite. By then they won't see programmer salaries as a place to pinch pennies.

    What's happening is there's a growing number of business needs that need a programmer's attention but don't quite justify throwing a Silicon Valley salary at. So you see management pushing to try to hire someone at the rates they're used to paying people at. It means there's a lot more opportunity out there, for both experienced coders and people looking to break in. Just like oil and other resources, the more supply that gets pumped in, the more demand blows up for all tiers. We're all going to be very, very busy for the foreseeable future.

  Yes, but not eating is even less enjoyable.
