In the US, I'd add that average (and above-average) developers
should be worrying about the prospect of their jobs being sent overseas.

It's really unfortunate, but the skillsets of most developers in the US
are essentially skillsets, and I think they'll increasingly find that
they're not sufficiently competitive in a global IT workforce.

Perhaps the US can out-educate inexpensive overseas labor, enough to
catch up cost-effectiveness-wise.  (An HtDP in every high school!)
