Ah yes, if only we could mint experienced devs from thin air, your model would be perfectly sound!

  Or maybe, devs could move from Company A to Company B that would pay them more money. What a terrible world that would be to live in. Or companies in, say, SF could let people work remotely from Pittsburgh.

    And what would company A do at that point? > Or companies in, say, SF could let people work remotely from Pittsburgh. Hold up, didn’t you say it was “clearly unethical” if local devs are available?

      OMG - there would be a bidding war for developers! VCs and Shareholders might have to take less profit so they could pay their developers more!! What a dystopian future. And as far as I can tell, Pittsburgh is in the same country as SF.

        According to gadders the definition of ethical is apparently “what’s good for gadders personally”. I don’t see anything ethical about your take - i see nationalism and greed. Misguided at that btw because skilled immigration demonstrably is good for us and good for wage growth. I asked you to prove otherwise and you just gave me some econ 101 vibes crap

          >>According to gadders the definition of ethical is apparently “what’s good for gadders personally”. According to gadders the definition of ethical is apparently “what’s good for the host nation's developers”. Fixed that for you. I don't think workers wanting to maximise their pay is greed.
