In this area of the country (greater NYC) and, I would assume, in other
areas, clever programmers (BS CS with experience) are hard to come by.
Always were.  Trade school programmers DO have it hard now, the
"on-the-job training programs" are hard to get in to.

The smart money knows that competence in programming has only a little
to do with getting degrees from colleges.  Many clever hackers coming
out of universities today were probably damned clever hackers when they
came out of high school.
