There's much less government intervention in hiring programmers, than there is, in hiring teachers (you need a state certificate) or CPAs (same). Even if you want to be a hairdresser you need a state certificate.

The point of the attack wasn't to hurt people, or even scare them. I'm glad Israelis are not reacting this with panic, but you've got to realize that the game has changed. What if they would have sent in 3,000 drones. Each
