All I can say is... in the government good programmers are few and far between. Most are barely more than HTML jockies who still don't understand CSS. I'm probably better than most... and I'm a far cry from an expert. The problem is you need a clearance to work in many government positions - which means our jobs aren't going to be outsourced to India anytime soon.
Many programmers in the commercial market have got a different situation. But is it really that bad? I don't really know, but I'm watching that space... because that's where the really good programmers are - and where I want to be. Forget this clearance crap. I need to be able to take a laptop and a cellphone into work. :)
