It’s true the traditional software development team structure won’t scale 10x You have to change the organization. - no peer code review, u review the AI output and that’s enough - devs need authority to change code anywhere in the company.

Illegal immigration has really hit gig work wages. So many people without valid work visas are sharing/renting uber and other accounts to do work. At least in Texas, I would guess 30-40% of gig workers are not legally allowed to be doi

the locals aren't upset about salaries? German programmer salaries seem to be on par w/ unskilled labor. If I was a local I would want to stop immigration until supply + demand equilibriated around USA levels.
