I watched the whole thing and the overall point was that entry level CS classes have 500-600 students in them and have upper year undergrads as TAs. Whereas "in the past" they claim that class sizes were smaller and the TAs were at least PhDs+.
I agree that there probably are sources of the people and it's other factors like MONEY lol, so framing it as a "shortage" is too vague if interpreted as a market shortage.
