"We currently have a massive shortage in talent to do the job"

no way. i just cannot believe that's true. i'm based in the U.S and i'm currently interviewing ... and spending my evenings studying to be better prepared for upcoming interviews. they all do the same thing: crazy programming puzzles.

i believe what's happening is that companies have become extremely choosy because there is a never-ending stream of candidates. they subject to insane technical interviews and reject good candidate after good candidate with the hope that maybe the next will be just a tiny bit better. And if not, well, there's more after that.

i'm convinced that in 2020 the software engineering profession is absolutely, positively supersaturated.

i'd say more, but i need to stop procrastinating and get back to the video about dynamic programming that i was taking notes on.
