While I'm ok with the notion of boycotts, they aren't effective in a world dominated by monopolies. It's basically impossible to boycott amazon completely because of AWS which powers everything. The hard thing needed is bette

Totally agree. The argument I'm making is that this Delaware ruling is terrible for exactly the reasons you are outlining. The judge effectively said in the conclusion "Trust me, there's no abuse and this is fine".

That's certainly part of it. But the other part that I've heard time and time again is that in order for outsourcing to be successful you basically needed an american engineer in the mix hand holding everything, clarifying requir

This is the same argument that has been historically made for outsourcing developers. Get 20 more devs for the cost of 1 dev in the US. I suspect that AI will fail to pan out to the same extent for the same reason why outsourcing hasn&#x27

I agree. Rust could definitely be more ergonomic and IIRC the main reason it wasn't made that way years ago was because the users of proc macros vetoed the new 2.0 API. IIRC over stilly things like it'd make some of their other

I've harped on this for years, but few devs seem to grasp the concept that less dependencies is better than more. Especially library authors. It's only now that the supply chain problems with npm are becoming beyond obvious that

So much of the US immigration process is built around punishing and exploiting. The primary reason for the strong border is allowing farms and construction companies to find cheap labor which can't complain about mistreatment. It help
