Is the problem that people are hopping jobs (this was always the case), or that they're exiting the industry? I thought we're talking about the latter.

I see a lot of software people quitting to take sabbaticals, to work on a project that might turn into a company, or going small and retiring. To my eye, you can't pay those people a 40% raise to retain them.

I think the people that can afford a sabbatical are a limited set. I think the difference lately is that so much of the economy is software focused so there is a need for developers that has not existed before.
