> Then Google should just hire 100,000 devs this year, why not?

Hold up that's actually a good idea. It would help a lot of entry level devs bulk up their resume and learn hands on skills. This would lead to an influx of sorely needed new talent to the entire tech industry and enable a lot more innovation than was possible before, if only due to HR red tape.

That'd be a sort of corporate keynesianism. It is both neat and scary to think that a few companies could meaningfully stimulate their entire sector over a period of years through their hiring policies.

Sure, what do I care? I care about people not corporations. There are competitors salivating to scoop up any devs who are out of a job if Google goes under.
