How would you solve this without the government? I can't see why private companies would be incentivized to do this. And the reason this is dysfunctional is because the government doesn't go far enough in extending benefits. If th

The discussion here isn't about code. It's about quality of engineers hired. If their software and product quality is steadily declining then that says something about their team. Perhaps they are incredible coders but don't
