If jobs start going to other countries we should bring them back by investing in education and producing the best devs in the world. If we can't compete, good for whoever beats us.
Trying to hoard the jobs won't work in the long run anyway.
- zaphirplane 5y agoThe main discussion aside, there is a living cost that education doesn’t bridge. If you are living in say London plumbers, mechanics, housing, eggs are more expensive than in say Vietnam. you can be paid more in London and have a lower quality of life

- zaphirplane 5y agoHow will that help ? A person living in city x needs to be paid y to have a z quality of life. In another city they would need to be paid another amount to have the same quality of life. Zero to do with their occupation
- WanderPanda 5y agoSalary is not about providing a certain level of quality of life for an employee. It is about the value the employee can create for the company. There part of the value can be due to the synergies of being physically close. In the mid term the salary will be dependent on what the employee brings to the table and not how expensive his lifestyle is (at least in companies that will do well in the long term)
- emodendroket 5y agoThat is true from the company's perspective but from a community's perspective pretty disastrous.
- cudgy 5y agoThe US does produce the best devs in the world already; of course many of those devs are students of the top American universities from other countries. Furthermore, many of those students are not poor in their home countries and come from privileged backgrounds.
