    Hate to break this to you, but unicorns aren't simply hard to find -- they don't exist.

      Actual unicorns don't exist, but the unicorns referenced in this article do. The definition of a unicorn in the tech industry is someone who is very good at design and code. Someone who can go from wireframes to deployed code on his or her own keeping a high quality throughout the journey in all areas.

      These people actually exist, but they are rare.

      It seems to me that those who are unable to become high-quality designers and developers/engineers are the ones trying to convince the world that so-called unicorns don't exist.

        I understood your point. I was just making the observation that it's weird for somebody in the industry to define a "unicorn" as something that actually exists.
