I've read several articles about how US doesn't actually has a software engineer storage, and I slowly begin to realize something. Do journalists that write these articles actually think that if you open up engineering position and get, say, 10 to 20 resumes, there is a high probability that even one of these people would actually be worth hiring?

After maintained code made in outsourcing shops, hiring and helping others hire, I slowly came to realize that more than 50% of programmers out there put in a steady negative input into projects and organizations they're part of. The fact that there are millions more "programmers" who are looking for a job than there are job openings doesn't contradict with the fact there are too few good developers out there, in any country that I know.
