Great article. Few suggestions:

- If you are bootstrapped, you can build dual use technology. - All of this is predicated on the idea that building software is hard, you need 8 years to build a product that people like. Maybe this is all going away in the AI world in a couple of years.

We have been working on https://talentpulsar.ai for exactly this. Hope to find some good collaborations with the hn community with some little self promotion, hope this is okay.

If good and bad both get amplified, I hope the equilibrium is maintained.

Debezium was built exactly for that to power a queue based on WAL.

We had considered Oban when deciding whether to go with Kafka/Debezium or not. We sided with Kafka because it can do high throughput ingestion and it is easier to maintain it with cursor in today's world. Postgres is not meant for heavy writes, but heavy querying. You could fix that with lot of care but then it does not scale multi-master very well either. Kafka scales much better for heavy writes.

Google predicting that hn frontpage will not change at all? lol

Would this mean cursor and cline don’t have to do context management? Their value is much more just in the ui now?

This is not an easy inference. For this inference to be true , you have to know how much of the expense goes to salaries . Also, you have to give credit to tsmc to be world class which enables them to control prices, it may not translate across industries

Makes sense. Btw, I gave you two likes since you have pretty low karma here on HN :) and I know how that feels.

Sure, but llm may be more unbiased and give high quality summary. But I won’t do it again, I am sure you have thought about it much more than I have.

Just so others don’t have to do it. I did not think this post was hn worthy so wanted to save some time for others. Maybe hn needs to do it automatically

Conclusion The data points cited in the article are mostly accurate, based on available government reports (e.g., USCIS, ICE, NACE). However, the interpretations and causal claims are ideologically framed and often lack nuance:

Sound in identifying employment and wage challenges for new CS graduates.

Oversimplified in attributing these challenges mainly or solely to foreign workers.

Questionable in presenting policy recommendations as the only “truth-based” solution.

If you're looking for a deeper, balanced understanding, consider consulting:

National Science Board’s Science & Engineering Indicators

Brookings Institution or Cato Institute reports (for contrasting views)

NACE and NCES for graduate outcomes and education data

But none of them would end up becoming Coca Cola. At least not just by selling hot dogs.

Maybe it is not, you need much more context about the OP to declare this as a straw argument. Confidentiality agreements are generally very boilerplate. If someone is thinking that this is preventing them from working at something, they are possibly just not understanding what stealing means. This guy possibly had similar understanding of laws: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-uber-executive-s...

why downvote this? I have gone through this route and can vouch this is for a good cause, this conversation may mislead people into believing stealing is okay.

I can bet they happened with NDAs. Noncompete is another story, that is not the OPs problem here.

Brand takes money to build. IF an employee took the secret to their rich uncle when coke was small, we would not be talking about Coke. Whatever small the formula was.

IF you go to an interview, and nothing was divulged to you, this NDA does not mean anything. But if youwork at a competitor, and you get an interviewer tell you things that the company does not want to divulge, company has some protection. Not all laws and processes are bad.

if coke did not have deep pockets, it would have gone under without this protection.

I think if the extremely close replicas ever threatened Coke's existence, they would sue. Especially if a former employee started it. I think trade secret protection is the only thing that enables a company to operate. Especially small companies, otherwise only large companies can operate. Any employee with a rich uncle can finish the small company off without this protection.

That’s my whole point. They are not using Coke’s formula

There is a difference between trade secrets and non compete. If you can compete with the company without using trade secrets, like make a drink that people like without using Coca Cola secret, it is fine.

So if you are against this, you are okay with Coca Cola’s secret to be divulged by any employee to any competitor? If you cannot let companies maintain trade secrets, you may as well close them down.

but dont they have overlapping requirements of solving "not works on my machine"

Would love to hear nix people take on this?

I want to bet 10 million that this won’t happen if anyone wants to go against my position. Best bet ever. If i lose, i don’t have to pay anyways.

They could use vitess, citus or alloydb. They could use read replicas for read operations and single master in a shard for write. They would get many SQL features (upgrades, referential integrity etc) for free. It would allow them to extend their business logic considerably.

Just wondering if anyone considered using Postgres or another relational db. I understand it won’t do multi master replication as well but it is much more stable and predictable if you give it right amount of traffic. I guess the team had to do that part anyways for ScyllaDB

Is there a registry that would work on extremely cheap disk storage if the use case if only push and very infrequent pulls?
