Forgive my skepticism
> I feel the talent we have now has the ability to crush, kill, and destroy the talent in Silicon Valley "engineers" at a fraction of the price in terms of output to input ratio. We've done work on crazy levels of core infrastructure and are scaling.
SV is a hotbed for a ton of international talent, not just American. Indeed, SV pays the most out of anywhere on the planet and therefore has an incredibly strong pull for the best and brightest from across the world. I sincerely doubt that one country's local talent is strong than a clustered talent center like SV.
Is Pakistani talent flying under the radar? Are we simply not aware of the amazing research and development being made in Pakistan vs US or China?

- JAlexoid 6y agoDefine "work ethic"? It's a highly subjective term. And I'm 100% sure that a country of 212mil will have a lot of talent. But engineering isn't singing or contortion - you need appropriate education and right conditions.
