No, but I am starting to wonder if software innovation is being moved outside the U.S.
- arcbyte 2y agoThere's innovation happening outside the US for sure, but the US is and will continue to be the capitol. We're just witnessing the exact same economic short sightedness that caused overhiring followed by layoffs in 2022, 2023; now repeating as undersizing. Now is a fantastic opportunity for startups.
- pylua 2y agoThe python team is moving abroad, not undersizing. At least, that was my reading of it. I would argue this is different than over hiring. Over time, in cheaper areas, the hiring may even expand.
- toader 2y agoIn the US there seems to be a focus on the southern border and immigrants taking mostly low paying labor jobs. Is there a focus on foreign labor, outsourcing, taking high paying jobs?
- pylua 2y agoYes. Part of the white collar recession.
- arcbyte 2y agoLet me retract the word undersizing a little bit. A lukewarm step before undersizing is lowering cost by lowering quality. That's what we're witnessing.
- pylua 2y agoI assume removing long standing people on a project would greatly decrease quality. I am sure that google wont spin it that way. I wouldn’t go as far to say that cheaper labor always means less quality.
