Why?

  because these people are being replaced with off-shore hires from India and China.

    So? Are you implying that those developers can’t compete with US developers?

      US developers are far better than Indian developers, but they can't compete on wages. The cost of living is too high in this country.

        How about Silicon Valley developers being outsourced to Missouri?
    • g00gler 3y ago
      How about US developers can’t compete with offshore developers? Average Indian earns $571/mo. Even if devs earn 2x average you’d be able to hire at least 3 for just the average SF/NYC rent a developer in the US has to pay let alone taxes, benefits, etc. Not particularly good for the country or economy long term; is the end game to destroy the US and start over paying people here $571/mo?

        Why isn’t it good for the country? Are you implying not having access to semiconductors built elsewhere or goods built elsewhere wasn’t a net positive for the US? The idea that software development was immune to this inevitable change is nonsensical.
