U.S. Programmers An Endangered Species?

How encouraging... I feel like an endangered species, which is why I'm ramping up the farm as coding work is slowing down. With a little luck, the former will come to full fruition before the latter becomes extinct.

USA Today reports that US Programmers are an 'Endangered Species' and expects them to be 'extinct' within the next few years, replaced by offshoring and H-1B visa holders. They suggest people will manage overseas projects, become self-employed, or switch to other fields.
