i wonder about "hire them back" -- i 100% agree we're going to need more people in CS rather than less over the medium term, but will the skillsets be different? i think there's an argument for both more CS skilled and less, not sure which direction and to which degree.

@jbigham I think we're going to see a need for people with actual C.S. degrees who understand the internals, rather than people like me who are primarily self-taught & just know "how to get things done" Especially in web development, knowing the framework won't really get you hired anymore That's a big barrier to entry for hundreds of thousands of people who used "a computer job" as a way to get their first step up
