Is this just a bullshit narrative this guy pushing out there to make it seem like programming no longer takes effort? Does experience, education, and projects mean nothing now that boot camps are still being pushed and telling people getting a jr dev position is easy as reading up on programming once a night ever few months?

no, it's pretty much true, but not for the reason he states

it's because you can hire a bunch of pajeet H1B slaves at 20% above minimum wage and keep them locked up in apartment blocks and have them churn out your gruntwork CRUD applications.
You don't need to pay them a living wage because they're not really living in the US for all intents and purposes, they're basically modern day indentured servants.

this statement is accurate. Most people don't need people who got their bachelors degree and focused their electives on maching learning and data science.
The problem is that this doesn't work for US grads because of H1B. Why should anyone hire an American if they can buy a slave from India they pay pennies on the dollar, and can get kicked out of the US at any time?

Before you claim that programming is a blue collar job, you need to totally eliminate outsourcing.

So lower level developer jobs are basically asking for a fizzbuzz to be able to get a job? Quality is still a necessity in many areas of programming.

No, they ask for 4 year degrees, and every H1B worker has one, though it's piss easy to get fake degrees in india, there's an entire industry surrounding it.

You shouldn't need a 4 year degree and 5 years of experience in a laundry list of technologies to get an entry level job.
These are bait job listings earmarked to be filled by an H1B worker.
They have to prove to the US govt that they "tried" to fill their skilled position and failed to find an american.
