   It is odd (or maybe not) that they decided to publish a marketing whitepaper rather than a more traditional journal submission + preprint. The work does appear to be sufficient for a publication, though there's a good chance a reviewer will rip into them for some of the assertions they make, but given the topic I'm sure the paper will be accepted regardless.

   The market for entry-level programmers has already declined, but at least they were somewhat in demand and made reasonable salaries. Now what happens to post-docs who already make almost nothing and often get treated like crap?

      Medical advances are more important than post docs

         Medical advances require post doc levels of education and knowledge to advance. Otherwise we are pretty soon unable to determine what is trash and what is useful. It is easier to generate trash data than good data, and most data generated will be trash, so if nobody can sift through the good and bad the next level is going to be ingesting nonsense and getting worse every time.
