I swear, many of the HN crowd seems like they'd be happiest if they were the only developer on the planet.

You should ask taxi drivers about how they feel about millions of people getting paid peanuts to drive for Lift and Uber.

Or lawyers about how they feel about millions of people with law degrees unable to find work as lawyers.

Or Physics PHDs about how they feel driving a cab^wUber.

Or musicians, who live off selling t-shirts.

Why do you think supply and demand does not apply to the IT labour market?

Because labor generates additional demand. There isn't fixed demand for software engineers that persists across all time. The demand for engineers has grown over the last fifty years.
