I think they mean that devs are leaving companies in higher numbers, not leaving the industry as a whole.

This post has a number of what look like astroturf advertising comments.

That's not a coincidence. The same tactics that lead China where it is now are being used here.

Indeed. I think the actual entity to be scorned here is NPR, not the laureates. They seem to be twisting the meaning of the speech to promote some other agenda, and in one case outright fabricating the connection.

It's a bit unnerving to see this stuff so often, really. Demands to censor speech you don't like, and which almost uniformly comes from your political opponents, in the name of fighting authoritarianism is blatantly contradictory.

Yes, this is an unspoken facet of inflation it seems. Many goods are both increasing in price and decreasing in quality or quantity. You're getting less for your money, but only the price increases are counted. I'm curious if econ

I think this is off-base. Not being a political Collectivist has very little to do with participation in civil society. Americans were far more Individualist in the past and had a much stronger civil society. Conservatives also tend to be m

The irony of how incredibly bigoted this comment is would be hilarious if so many people didn't seen to believe it.

That's like arguing "people don't like breathing, they like getting oxygen into their bloodstreams so they don't die". It's a pointless distinction, and seems mostly like a rhetorical device to attack the idea

Paying your employees an agreed upon wage, which is higher than market rate for the region, is not really "fleecing your workers". People are glad to have these jobs.

Sure, not saying it is. I was just disagreeing with the assertion that there was no union action involved.

It varies wildly by company. Team lead can mean anything from an architect with a smaller scope to a hands-off junior manager.

The illegal immigrant population alone in the US is estimated to be between 10 and 28 million. The entire population of Norway is about 5.5 million. Perhaps the two countries have very different political realities.
