If the US actually cared about retaining jobs for the people they would enforce ratios of onshore / offshore with heavy taxes if companies did not reach that ratio.

Companies don't want to pay US salaries, cost of living in the US are not going down, costs of engineering talent in India is cheaper, you can hire 2 devs for the cost of 1 US dev. Why would you ever have any US engineering devs?

It won't change organically unless the costs of India engineers goes up or the costs of US engineers goes down.

I've always wanted to do some small business, maybe an app but to get started feels so daunting. This information you provided is great and makes me feel like there's room to know more.

Are there any good places to grow this kind of knowledge? How to use payment processors? How to actually setup a business and get paid yourself?

I don't want to get into the whole founder ethos, I just want to make something and get paid for it.

I'm getting AI generated product requirements that they haven't read themselves. It is so frustrating. Random requirements like "this service must have a response time of 5s or less" - "A retry mechanism must be present". We have a specific SLA already for response time and the designs don't have a retry mechanism built.

The bad product managers have become 10x worse because they just generate AI garbage to spray at the engineering team. We are now writing AI review process for our user stories to counter the AI generation of the product team. I'd much rather spend my time building things than having AI wars between teams.

Are there any popular packages that require postinstall scripts that this hurts?

I wonder what position Apple will take on this. You can't trace ICE agents (IceBlock app)

But will ICE be able to track immigrants using whatever Apps are created here?

Scary times we live in. Stay safe everyone.

This nails so much of my frustration with software development at the moment.

The requests to my team are:

build what product says

close out 90% of the defects you find by priority order

deliver in the priority of feature > security > accessibility

once delivered move on to something else we only have time to work for 3 months on an initiative before we move on

These requirements don't end up with a well working product. They end up with gaps in product, defects that are obvious, non-accessible site. Things take time to polish and be made right, but that's not what is requested. Wanting to iterate and measure isn't important because its not more features.

Because your competitor probably depends on a service which uses aws. They may host all their stuff in azure, but use cloudfront as cache which uses aws and goes down.

Exactly my thoughts when I went through it.

I want to see the results of the test compared to the EU/US/Whoever recommendations. I want explanations of what the different chemicals are and preferably linked to peer reviewed studies explaining side effects.

Once even more tests are ran I want comparisons between product brands.

Overall still great but very much an engineer presentation to complex data. Not that its a bad thing, being transparent with data is important, but we aren't all experts.

How are you setting up LLCs nowadays? I set one up through legalzoom and get charged an increasing amount each year (it increased $100) this year and I can't cancel / dissolve the charges via the UI. Even though I signed up online, I have to contact the state to dissolve the LLC then show legalzoom proof in order to cancel their yearly fee. Its pretty crazy.

Are there other better vendors for this kind of work out there?

Eventually the waymo would determine the bus wasn't moving and go around. I had the same situation happen with a garbage truck, but I didn't press the button. It can handle the scenario if you just wait.

I think apple is fine. When AI works without 1 in 5 hallucinations then it can be added to their product. Showing up late with features that exists elsewhere but are polished in apple presentation is the way.

I was wondering why they didn't do this sooner.

I saw 3 waymos burning on the news and pulled up the app and it would still let me book one right to middle of the protest.

They seem to have dropped the ball here and makes me wonder what their on call and active incident response policy is.

I think you could argue that Battlefront 2 allows this kind of asymmetrical multiplayer game.

The heroes on the other side are largely over powered compared to the standard trooper. While everyone wants to play the hero, it takes time to build up points to switch to it. It allows every odd character models, where we have bb8 running around quickly and extremely small hitbox.

I do think there are opportunities in this area. When I play fortnite I get disappointed that everyone has to fit into a specific skeleton. Let games be weird.

404media has done some really good reporting recently. In the past few months its become one of my go to sources.

Our company is forcing us to drop slack and use teams. It’s going to be terrible. But hey it saves 600k per year. Never mind that our customer experience will become terrible as team communication fails.

Do you have good AI integration into obsidian?

So far I write a rough draft in obsidian copy into chatgpt / claude then copy back into obsidian. I'd love a way in app to work in more a fluid way. Much like how Notion has its simple AI actions (improve this writing, etc).

Since the Judiciary seem to be the only ones pushing back against the Federal overreach it makes sense to them go after them first.

I don't expect Congress to start getting arrested until or if they ever do any significant pushback against Trump and his cronies.

This is America now, the land of the lawless and unjust. Prepare accordingly people, if they do not like what you are doing they will use their full power to stop you.

My company did the same thing - come to the office 3x per week.

We came in to the office to find monitors that were old pre-covid. No office supplies (tissues, mouse pads, batteries, keyboards) Expired food and beverages from pre-covid No desks for my teammembers

The work environment was also much worse than before. Now you get to overhear the executives bragging about their new cars, the golfing trips they are taking while trying to focus on your work. You have folks taking calls from there desk without even using a headset.

My team productivity has gone down the drain. The business pre-covid was 90% US engineers and during covid we offshored most of everything to india. Now how am I supposed to get my team to have calls with india at early morning and evenings when we are forced to spend an hour just driving to the office.

Hopefully the market self corrects on this and washington posts loses subscribers. Forcing an opinion section to have only opinions you want is just the opposite of its purpose.

Discord also has implemented an RBAC system that makes permissioning simple.

This is not free and cost $2.99

Our hackathons have changed from - implement a feature the clients might find valuable to implement ai in anywhere and everywhere in the solution.

Seems like the site has hit its limit.

Maybe the attackers can make TFT scale correctly on the ipad.

For reference check out the wiki for largest employers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_employers Amazons hiring growth has been insane.

Really soldified my stance that I should never work for a company where Musk is involved.

I work for a company which Amazon uses and pays us per seat. Scaling with them while they exploded in hiring has been a struggle.

Curious to hear about the details once they come out.

Agreed that Github needs to push back, but we should also be contacting our legislature so that they are aware of the abuse of law.
