Hi Mike,

I'm not being sarcastic.

I'm currently looking to hire two RPG programmers, and haven't had many responses. Of the 10 or so responses I have had, perhaps half of them are from people with no RPG experience who figured they'd apply anyway, just in case.

I'm an RPG advocate, and I often speak about the benefits of RPG. It's very common to hear managers complain that they feel RPG is not a good future direction because there's very little RPG talent. They have a hard time finding RPG programmers. When they do, they're always older people who they expect to retire within the next decade or so.

The other problem, of course, is that RPG programmers don't ever want to upgrade their skills. This has led to the widespread opinion that RPG is only for maintaining legacy green-screen software. But the lack of talent is starting to eclipse this problem!

It really makes me sad.
