well, not really, by 2020 or earlier, the best programmers in India, Russia, Romania (btw I don't think much of native Chinese programmers -- people of Chinese origin OUTSIDE Communist China are, on the other hand, brilliant and creative) would be reaching a stable number and their costs will also increase to somewhat the level of the US. Even now, the best US programmers have no problem getting jobs -- the mediocre programmers are losing jobs: stands to reason, a really good programmer has productivity that makes his/her salary worth it, no matter how high it is. Mediocre programmers, on the other hand, well, you can get a mediocre programmer in India for 1/5th the price.
Anyway, back to my point, in another 5 to 10 years, there will truly be global searches for talent.
