I remember 10 years ago when the fear was that cheaper programmers in developing countries (India mostly) would be doing all the programming. It's just a scam

It's just a scam to keep you scared and stop you from empathizing with your fellow workers.
- bl0rg 3y agoI don't think it's a scam or a conspiracy. It's human nature to worry and when given a reasonably sounding, but scary, idea we tend to spread it to others.
- concordDance 3y ago> It's just a scam to keep you scared and stop you from empathizing with your fellow workers. I am quite unconvinced this is the reason. Seems rather conspiratorial.
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoOutsourcing was more of a threat than AI. And a lot of jobs really did move. It is still a real thing, not that many programming jobs moved back to the states.
- plagiarist 3y agoThat's legit. I've managed to dodge it but many jobs have moved overseas. Many of my coworkers the past years have been contractors living in other countries. This is what happened to America's manufacturing industry. Shouldn't emphasizing with fellow workers mean recognizing the pattern instead of dismissing it as FUD?
