Yes there's a mismatch between the jobs available and the skills of the unemployed. But the rest of the article is pretty much wrong.
Plenty of people aren't cut out for programming or just don't like it. Trying to force them into jobs where there not a good fit isn't good for anyone.
Business schools should teach a wide range of case studies from a range of sectors. Yes that includes farming and food logistics.
The beer company InBev ships $36 billion dollars a year of beer. That's more than market cap of Facebook. The Beer industry is probably worth more than the combined value of every startup featured on Techcrunch in the last year.
Let's not exaggerate the importance of our industry in the wider scheme of things.
