Who's Solving The DEVELOPER SHORTAGE Crisis?

Video Description

There has been a reported software developer shortage for the past 50 years, despite occasional ups and downs, like the current layoffs at some of the big web companies, despite this though, the data says that vacancies are at an all-time high and demand for people with software development skills is predicted to continue to rise, in fact to double by the end of this decade. Software developer jobs are hard to fill. So despite the doom and gloom, and questions like “Will AI take all out Jobs”, so far the future of software development as a career looks pretty secure. But if this has really been a problem for at least the last 50 years, who has been doing anything about it and what have they done? In this episode, Dave Farley, author of “Continuous Delivery”,’ Modern Software Engineering” and other books, addresses the current software shortage and discusses the steps that are being taken to address it, and some of the responses that are less common, but may really help. - ⭐ PATREON: Join the Continuous Delivery community and access extra perks & content! ➡️ https://bit.ly/ContinuousDeliveryPatreon - 👕 T-SHIRTS: A fan of the T-shirts I wear in my videos?
