Interesting reading the two sides of HN where in this thread software development is dead as a career and tech companies especially will be shrinking massively because you no longer need as many QA, PMs, analysts, recruiters, etc

But contrast this to the visa thread such as the recent one on Microsoft and in there it’s all about who can bring the most bodies into their country wins. Talent is pure human not machine.

I’m not taking a side here but it’s clear that in most of these discussions fear is the driving factor. People are very worried about out what is going to happen to their jobs.

These threads seem more like therapy for a lot of folks to vent which is good but shows there isn’t space to be heard in real life.
