> Instead of complaining shortage of programmer it makes sense to build software development processes around "average" programmers
I tried to explain this to a manager: instead of trying to find a developer with perfect skills, get a junior one and train him.
There is no shortage of developers, but there is definitely a shortage of senior developers with (quoting one of the emails i get weekly):
5+ years of experience in the following skill sets...
Web-Based C# / ASP.NET 3.5 / 4.0 Development – Design / Development / Implementation
MVC Design Pattern
Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) Framework – Entity Framework
WebServices / SOAP / XML
WCF – Windows Communication Foundation
SQL Server 2005 / 2008 – T-SQL / Database Design Frameworks
