Microsoft, a company with numerous military contracts, has brazenly admitted it intends to train an artificial intelligence agent to become “unbeatable” by humans in war simulations. Because they're really looking forward to playing the Hundred Years War campaign?

Spinning rust, the technology that just will not die.
It's interesting... people keep on predicting the replacement of spinning rust disks with solid state. But like the promise of commercially viable fusion power, it's always coming next year (or next 20 years or whatever).
Just as solid state memory keeps on getting cheaper, so it seems that new ways are continuously found to keep spinning rust cost effective for bulk storage.

And new coatings for the spinning discs, and new ways to read them... You're right - that may never end.

The title of this post was a trending Quora question, with popular responses boiling down to “it’s not, the unemployment rate is 3.6%,” “there are too many developers and not enough engineers,” and “it’s a natural consequence of microeconomic theory.” "You never get free, everybody wants you"

A serious answer, for once:
It is possible that employers are looking only for experienced developers. This does not mean those who have had 1 year 20 times or even those who have had 5 years 4 times; it means that they've had 20 years of experience, learning and becoming more professional all the time.
The problem starts when they want to pay them the salary given to entry-level developers.

hypothesis:
1) demand is highest for programmers with mastery of both traditional languages, mastery of multiple platform development, and web development, and JavaScript/HTML/CSS, etc....
and
2) among the developer pool, those whose experience matches those criteria, for years, are ... rarer, and, as Daniel pointed out, their salary expectations would be high.
A better analysis could require knowledge of what entry- and higher- level jobs are in demand, what skills they require.

My experience job hunting and talking to my brother about one of his sons is that employers want engineers with about ten years experience willing to take lower-than-average salaries for that amount of experience (and the cost of living in that area.)
On top of this companies are a bit jaded to actually create a hiring requisition. Few people in direct management like laying people off and they are worried about ramping up new projects only to be forced to do that (especially when they have existing projects which require maintenance.)
All this is quite valid.
(BTW, I think two interesting effects of COVID were a) a lot of marginal projects were scuttled and b) companies realized they had a lot of dead weight built up over time. In short, people started asking "what do they do anyway?")
