I was glued to this from start to finish. It felt like I was reading an academic paper. Your approach to the "talent problem" is one that can be built on by researchers. Being able to create frameworks like this gives a sense of direction as to where the gaps are and how best to plug them.

There is the part of access to resources and tools in building software-related careers. Could it be argued that it has an impact on enthusiasm/passion? It would be interesting if we can draw up a similar framework on how things like location, cost of courses, access to internet, laptops, power supply, cost of data subscription, level of education create segments of talents.

Thank you for writing this. Looking forward to your next article!
