As someone whose entire networth is is USD, I'm still not sure how concerned I should be.

I don't get the passkey hate in the comments. I just store it in Bitwarden, and it syncs across my phone, laptop and desktop. Has been a better experience than passwords

Capitalism is at odds with protectionism. Putting citizens above profits doesn't seem like a very capitalist thing to do. Not arguing against it, I'm all for socialism

It benefits American entrepreneurs - they could hire from a diverse pool of people instead of waiting for local talent pools to develop?

Not everyone is capable of building FAANG levels of talent pipelines to convert interns into eventual staff eng

I can't tell if this is a troll post or intentionally obtuse. The comment they you replied to did say that these are the best in their country, which is why we want them. Have you heard of a concept called brain drain?

What if I need someone to do the job right now? And there are such candidates available? Should I still hire an under qualified citizen?

Yeah I wonder if they had given their friend Claude code or Codex, would it have been more likely to create what she wanted?

One thing that's never been clear to me is how either system plans on scaling healthcare. You have X doctors who can see (just a guess) 30X patients. Unless the number of doctors increase, some patients are going to be left out. In the current system it's those without employment. I'm other countries there's a waitlist. How can we make sure there's enough staff to provide adequate healthcare for everyone?

Won't that slow you down a lot? I get it in principle, but in practice if you have to review everything your coding agent does the productivity gains diminish significantly
