From my observations it appears to be incredibly corrosive socially. The scale of the damage it is doing in western society at the moment will need books, not chapters, dedicated to it in the future.

Myself questioning the decisions I've made in life.
I'm going to guess by not declaring a change of residency and keeping everything flowing through their American / Canadian SSN + bank etc.
>That's the biggest problem on being Canadian, it's hard to find something to bitch about. When you live in a nice country all your dramas become pathetic. Utterly clueless.
What’s the incentive for companies to pay European devs more?
This literally only benefits the company owners.
My only hope is that the rest of the Western world takes note from observing the dissolution and atomization of US society at the hands of identity politics and makes a firm choice to not let their own societies…

Who could have foreseen that choosing to contribute to some of the most, if not the most, intentionally polarizing and toxic technology the world has ever seen may have consequences? Obviously physical violence in…
All of this is surely going to end well.

Post-COVID I see three scenarios: - Companies go back to the office, but with more of an onsite/remote split and better support for it - Companies that reject remote and return to the office fully - A whole host of…

Yes yes, we get it, San Francisco bad.
Fair and true points. Hopefully, at some point in the near future, we'll see some accountability for this abhorrent behaviour.

Under the assumption that the policies they pursue are damaging, as implied above, would that make Californians essentially a virus?
The counterpoint is that it’s unlikely you’ll switch to replying to poorly thought out comments on hackernews, for an example, when you’re on a dedicated reading device than when you’re on just another app on your…
