- AtlasBarfed 2y ago1990s:,use consultants but don't pay your people. 2000s: outsource to India rather than pay your people 2010s: hire cheap web devs out of school rather than pay your people 2020s:layoff everyone until something breaks, and certainly above all else, don't pay your people 2030sAAAAAAIIIIII wht have people at all
- r2_pilot 2y ago2024: just use Claude 3.5 Sonnet
- jandrese 2y agomid 2020s: outsource development to AI rather than pay your people I've always been amazed at the kind of money companies will throw at not having to hire a developer. Salesforce is a quarter of a trillion dollar company because they tell management that they won't need to hire any developers and then charge outrageous rates to accomplish simple tasks in the most complicated way possible.
- makeitdouble 2y agoSalesforce will tell you to hire developers. Just not yours, but their designated and certified developers that will stay stuck to Salesforce while your business might come and go. In the first few meetings with SF you'll invariably be presented with a consulting company that will help you deal with the purposedly hot mess that SF integration is.

- nradov 2y agoAnd in the tech industry we actually have it easy. Anyone who thinks it's hard to manage "people problems" with software developers has obviously never managed production workers in a factory or restaurant or something like that.
- drewcoo 2y agoYou just plan for things differently. The workers you mention are commodities, so it's easier to plan for them. My father needed to design assembly lines that were safe enough for tweaked out workers who may not have slept for days to work on. Those were just his design constraints. True story.
