This is why I never buy anything from Amazon unless I track prices in one of two ways: 1. camelcamelcamel.com 2. Add the product in my shopping cart and follow the price movement until I see the price drop down enough

The reason you can only find things in Amazon is that they've driven all other vendors out.

I can't wait until the AI vendors start charging according to the true costs of their tools (+ profit margin). Let's see what the cost savings are then. Additionally once the AI vendors have locked these companies to their ecosyst

Agreed. I usually add "...by the end of the day", "...after my next meeting" or whatever I feel is the appropriate timeline to find the answer to their question and then follow up. If you keep your word consistently, peo

A very large majority of all software engineers are mediocore or at least not exceptional. I've worked with some extraordinary H1B sw engineers. I would say the ratio of great to mediocore is about the same as for non-H1B sw engineers.

Did they arrest anyone who was making hiring decisions or anyone whose job it is to verify whether employees are legally allowed to work in the United States at that construction site?

I bet rather they detained 450 people who didn't carry their papers with them. This has been the pattern of all of the ICE raids anywhere. If you don't look American and don't have a US passport or a valid visa on your person
