Yeah and how much is lost to off/near shoring?

For many computer science roles, you'll have tens of thousands of graduates chasing the job, which now demands years of experience, an impressive GitHub...

Yeah, that's the takeaway. If a kid graduates and doesn't even have a github profile, they're not gonna get hired.

Just contribute to some FOSS projects (or make your own) and you'll stand ahead of the rest.

I think they're confusing unemployment with difficulty finding jobs.

It's true that a lot of software engineers get laid off and take unemployment while theyre between jobs

It's also true that its super easy to get a job if you're an experienced software engineer.

This says more about companies simultaneously laying off and hiring than it does about the availability of jobs in the market.
