I’m shocked by the number of people here thinking you won’t be able to see the night sky because of 100k satellites. Is this site getting dumber?

I always think that stuff is funny because it clearly comes from a place of having only worked at faang-level-esque companies. I’ve only ever worked at messy mid-size software companies and have never once had a legit product manager guiding feature work, it’s generally been up to the developers to figure out what needs doing

Ya, central market was the only store close to me for a while and it crushed my budget, but was very worth it

There’s nothing remotely sensible about what Canada has done to allow Indian ethnic cartels to take over their job market

That’s not even remotely the case. We just don’t have enough people willing to move to rural Alaska.

So your argument is we have to give American jobs to foreigners here in America or they’ll take them overseas? Pardon me if I’m not convinced

If people that think like you had actually done something about it, then we wouldn’t be to this point. But at this point the only people taking action are trumps, and if that’s the only solution being offered, it will be taken. The conversation here is mild, get the room temp on this issue outside of lib tech circles and you’ll see

Is everyone just going to ignore that most of the jobs created in the post few years have gone to foreign born workers? Is it taboo, but some how the “Gen Z is dumb” is brought up multiple times in all its glorious stupidity

1. Is incredibly stupid and just a talking point used to bring in labor from overseas that is wage suppression at best and ethnic nepotism at worse. You mean to tell me the average college grad from India is better? Nonsense

We haven’t eliminated entry level positions, we decided it was better to import foreign labor than to train up new grads. Because we’re dumb, and in some cases tribal.

The current interview process isn’t meant to get the best talent, its intention is to give managers on visas an easy way to bring in other visa workers (via sharing questions and scaling difficulty for no-visa applicants)

So is it a dead app or is it influencing elections? I know Elon makes you mad, but try to be objective

So you want voting status to be determined by how much you pay in taxes? Fascinating, surely that would go well

Exactly. Every bad situation I’ve been in with FSD was when I misread the situation and disengaged it during a maneuver that it was handling safely
