And it's not just in programming-related jobs either. Parts of industry and the blue collar market are shitting themselves in Germany right now.
Two people I know have been let go (pumps and wood sectors resp.). Another (metal construction) is getting barely more than minimum wage. There's only one dude (chemical engineer) who is doing well (nearing 100k at 5 years work experience). The others are getting by.
Politicians are still complaining about Fachkräftemangel, skilled labor shortage, but it's really a wage slave shortage.
