As a Canadian I am afraid that the more bad behavior the USA exhibits on the world stage, the easier it becomes to scapegoat and not look within at our own problems.

It was maybe 15ish years ago when Blackberry was at its peak. A world with such a dominant tech company in Canada today seems comically impossible

Correct take, Infact I would argue enforcing work in the office probably accelerates the current tech oligopoly guard in their transformation into IBM like businesses

Exactly, this was the scary part for me. First time I've ever seen a public emotional frenzy escalate to a point where the majority agreed to suspend due process, for things that could have been prosecuted normally

Seriously this is the part I dont understand about people parroting "prompt engineering" . Isn't it really just throwing random things at a non deterministic black box and hoping for the best?

As a Canadian who moved to the US for tech, I strongly advocate for any young Canadian with capable means who is reading this to leave Canada.

An already broken system is being stacked against you

Housing prices are more expensive in Canada. Health care systems are crumbling within Canada. Wages are lower in Canada. General cost of living is more expensive in Canada

I was frankly shocked after a lifetime of watching CBC just how much my quality of life improved by moving to the USA.

Problem is reading someone else's old code takes an order of magnitude longer than writing new code

From my understanding the way layoffs were handled at meta for most ppl on visas the 60 day count down was not triggered until 2 months into severance

I remember Elon at one time claiming that model y demand will outstrip model 3, x, and s combined. It’s getting harder and harder to believe his claims
