Ok and how should we punishing all the failed startups though? Who is holding them responsible for their failure?
> it's because they failed to train them
We should try. But in general this is like the idea of "Why don't we just retrain all the coal miners to write web apps?" The reality is that you can't retrain everyone.
Some of the programming stuff seems easy to programmers for example, because well, we forgot the time when we didn't know it yet. But it is not something you can take a few night classes and read a book or two and get to writing back-end services.
Not sure if that brings any comfort to the workers. They still lost their job. Most owners just turn around and do another startup and so on. Should they be punished and held responsible for it somehow. For hiring and then making bad decisions and failing.
