Apparently Programmers has a new Top User?

Pierre303's account is gone

@Rachel as far as I can tell Pierre's accounts are also dropped at SO, MSO, onStartups. quite a pity

@gnat Agreed, I've learned so much from his answers and as far as I know he was still answering questions as of a week or two ago

@gnat Sure - it's a Programmers issue. I'd suggest migrating it.

I flagged it. I'll ping the SO mods and see if we can get it faster.

And migration complete.

thanks @ThomasOwens!

in this question (revisions history), does dropping language specific tag invalidate my language specific answer?

@gnat Since those terms are not the same in every language, I re-added the [java] tag and specified the question was for Java in the question title and body

I see - thanks @Rachel (I was thinking alike but decided to double-check since I am biased as an involved answerer)

is there a labor shortage or labor surplus in the programmer industry?

currently

@WorldEngineer Me too, he posted some great answers

@nbv4 - If you ask people hiring programmers they will always say there is a shortage because they would always prefer to pay less. The best objective answer is probably to look at salaries.

@Rachel: I'm confused. Why do people see you as "the enemy"? You've tried so hard for so long to make Programmers.SE a better place. Yet @Roc Martí felt the need to violate the spirit of "Summer of Love" and accuse you of making mischief. I just don't understand.

@Rachel: Did you see this? news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4498499

@Rachel Whaaaat???? Where did he go??? Why did this happen???
