The demand for programming positions is vastly higher than it should be, and the largest cause for this is because western european style management (i.e. the same method largely used in the US) are poorly setup for leadership in this style of work. Thus, poor leadership leads to an artificially higher demand for work.
By proxy we end up with more duplicative work being done instead of smart work being done to make things actually work better. Prime example, the Internet is setup, used, and developed on technologies that simply weren't actually built for what it now does. It's a morass of poorly performing, inefficient technologies shoved together to provide what we've ended up with. It's great, but it could have been dramatically better. Instead it uses vast amounts of power to get energy to all the devices that have to waste vast amounts of electricity to churn through the processing power to provide the inefficiently built web pages and related content to everybody.
Albeit one probably wants a more bite size popular un-popular opinion. 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah I've seen companies that sell like 5 different product configurations to a couple hundred thousand clients that have 100+ devs on payroll to maintain it all. It's realistically doable by 1 guy/gal. Really. It is.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
