>The fact is, most companies who employ developer just don't need great devs. They need people who can develop websites of moderate complexity
They actually do they're just unable to recognize great devs, unable to recognize that they don't recognize them and refuse to pay for them.
But they certainly need them.
>Related, there is no "Developer shortage".
There's always a shortage of labor in every industry.
That's one of the iron rules of business lobbying - if you whinge about it enough the government will go and do something (training, bring in immigrants, teach code in school) that will let you pay employees less. => higher profit.
