That story did nothing but depress me. Leave these people the f**k alone! They were doing fine for thousands of years living a natural life... and their most cherished possession is a piano?? Please. This paragraph made me wanna punch someone.
"When our 11-strong team landed at Gunn's Strip, it seemed as if the whole of the tribe had turned out to meet us. But if any of us had been expecting half-naked, blowpipe-wielding savages, we were disappointed. The American missionaries who converted the tribe in the 1950s taught them Christian modesty, and they now favour shorts and T-shirts, largely supplied by visitors and aid agencies. The footwear of choice is the plastic flip-flop."
I'll tell you exactly what will happen... the same thing that happened with the web "design" industry over the past few years. Not so bright people figured out you could make money doing it as did every 2 year college on earth, whom quickly started offering "web associate degrees" and jonx like that. As soon as the thousands who went to school for web design and coding graduated, the bubble had burst and they were left high and dry, and flooding the market for those who'd already been in the industry for years.
The game industry is one of the few tech biz's making money right now, and it's STILL hard as hell to get a job in the industry. I've been in it for 2 years and have been trying to get friends jobs for as long, and most places just aren't hiring unless you've got at least 2 years experience. I can't wait to see what happens when colleges start adopting gaming industry programs and start spitting out crappy game makers.
I gotta say though... we are ALWAYS hurting for good console specific coders. They are almost always in demand. So i guess there is that. But like you said, the people who want to do it most will teach themselves, and that's the kind of people the industry wants.
they are laptop hard drives (already built for shock resistence), the drives are shockmounted on a special sled, and the drives are rarely spun up in the first place due to a good caching scheme.

Good ol' Christian missionaries.
