Is the market really "oversaturated" as the writer claims though?

IDK about the Bay Area, but in plenty of other places there just aren't enough developers to fill all the roles available.

Sounds like "leverage" to me

Yeah to echo others in the Denver area it’s extremely hard to hire and devs can bounce around between places every year or so getting a decent raise each time as employers compete for labor.
Especially in the search for competent developers or developers with experience.. We receive a lot of applications of completely underqualified candidates
Agreed.

Similarly, perhaps its oversaturated in London, but other UK cities don't have this problem.
