When people have no hope of not making it as a permanent resident or citizen, their incentives to perform well are not as high. Also immigration is a global market, you compete with other countries that might offer better conditions so you lose on the best workforce.

Exactly that. Novice don’t notice the BS. But they see the output and it looks magical. The UI is working! Hardly any time to code that in

Then they send that PR for a review by a more senior person. And that senior person doesn’t even know where to start on how to explain why it’s all wrong and likely to collapse in prod.

Tons of good use of AI. But tons of bad use of it. And when it’s bad and people don’t notice it, that gets dangerous. So because of that, now we spend a lot more time in doing reviews. Essentially creating a new bottle neck

It’s always easy in those threads to see who’s familiar with the world of aviation and who’s not.

No it’s not comparable to a cop that confuses things in the heat of the moment. Not anywhere close to be relatable.

If it was, planes would be crashing down the sky quite often (and it would have been fixed for decades already).

It has nothing to do with being illegal. That's just not the name of the city. Why would someone call San Francisco St-Francis on any sign, since nobody would know what it refers to?

Well you have to understand the structure of those organizations. They might not know anything about IT and have someone they don't know offering to "fix it", they might think you are there to remove virus from their PCs. Lots of org wouldn't know the benefits of getting a proper IT management system before they see it. Sometimes you have to get started volunteering at that organization, see what they really need, and then propose to develop some IT projects that would help them fix real world problems that they have. Before they see what problem you could solve, you are just a volunteer that doesn't fit with their core activities and they wouldn't know what to do with you. Anyway, there are so many NGO out there that even if you get refused somewhere, find another one, there's no shortage.
