Enh?

You know qualified SysAdmins who need work?  How about Perl developers
with Mason, Postgres, and AJAX experience?  Everybody is hiring and the
best candidates are scarce now because, well, everybody's hiring.  Maybe
Google gets some credit for sucking in a lot of the most talented people
in the Valley.

I have seen "bleak" ... that was 2001, 2002, and 2003.  In 2004 I took a
new position with a 60% salary increase.  (I had been underpaid.)  I
don't see bleak.  At least, not for the really talented ... anyone else
care to share their observations?

Thanks,
