Regardless of which article is correct (this one or the one it is referencing) in predicting the future of software employment, I think we'd all do well to keep an eye out for the future and be agile and ready enough if a Detroit-like situation does arrive. It should never be taken as a given that we'll always be highly sought after and well paid. With that in mind, I find Baugue's article much more useful considering I've never thought of an article that can be reduced to "Things are great, I don't think anything will change." to be of much help.
