+i An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: As our global\r
+i economy increasingly comes to run on technology-enabled rails\r
+i and every company becomes a tech company, demand for\r
+i high-quality software engineers is at an all-time high. A\r
+i recent study from Stripe and Harris Poll found that 61 percent\r
+i of C-suite executives believe access to developer talent is a\r
+i threat to the success of their business. Perhaps more\r
+i surprisingly -- as we mark a decade after the financial crisis\r
+i -- this threat was even ranked above capital constraints. And\r
+i yet, despite being many corporations' most precious resource,\r
+i developer talents are all too often squandered. Collectively,\r
+i companies today lose upward of $300 billion a year paying down\r
+i "technical debt," as developers pour time into maintaining\r
+i legacy systems or dealing with the ramifications of bad\r
+i software. This is especially worrisome, given the outsized\r
+i impact developers have on companies' chances of success.\r
+i Software developers don't have a monopoly on good ideas, but\r
+i their skill set makes them a uniquely deep source of\r
+i innovation, productivity and new economic connections. When\r
+i deployed correctly, developers can be economic multipliers --\r
+i coefficients that dramatically ratchet up the output of the\r
+i teams and companies of which they're a part.\r
