> "Senior software engineers stopped being developed in the US around 2012," Blake said. "That’s the real story. No country on Earth is producing new coders faster than old ones retire. India and Brazil were the last countries and both stopped growing new devs circa 2023. China stopped growing new devs in 2020."
This is one article quoting one person at IBM. But if that's true, that's a seismic shift in the landscape from the last, oh, 80 years or so.
That ought to make pay and working conditions better - if true.
