Giving the devil his due, good story from the New York Times on how Silicon Valley used the narrative that promised unlimited opportunities for those who learned coding to create an oversupply of potential tech workers. As always, with their reporting on these types of stories, there is a huge hot dog suit guy element -- the NYT very much played a role in this -- but that doesn't take anything away from Natasha Singer's work here.
The underlying strategy of creating the false impression of unlimited demand to generate an oversupply of labor isn't exactly new, nor is it the first time it centered on the Golden State.
