Well, those Nobel prizes are for a specific theory. In practice, in this case, you see developers looking to get problems solved (or solving problems), and getting distracted to look for another job. So even if you are removing market friction, there's a huge cost in people switching (or even getting distracted all the time). In my opinion, if people are looking for a job, they should go to a job-hunting website (even if it has lower-quality data about them).

Anyway, it would be nice to have the effects properly quantified.

There are many developers looking for a good job. There are many companies having difficulty finding qualified developers.

Our goal is to solve those problems, and it is not a zero-sum game.
