Those &quot;millions&quot; of programmers had work in their own countries I presume. Long before a small fraction of these &quot;millions&quot; get around to leaving and moving to the west, the market would have stabilized a bit. Wages would raise there as the supply drops below demand. Eventually we will see &quot;millions&quot; of western developers taking a small paycut to move to Romania or Maruitius or wherever for lifestyle reasons. I hope someone will come here to replace my job for much cheaper, I am sick of it. It would take them a while to train up though, and by the time they are ready to take over, I will be ready to move on to something else. All these new programmers will need someone to support, train, manage, lead, and coordinate them.<p>Yes I am overpaid on a global scale. Underpaid on a local scale heh. Now what we need is millions of people here earning less than me.. That should put prices down...
