Yeah, the Indian factor is well documented at this point.

(as an aside - that's what first drew me to /pol/ back in the early 10's - someone passed a link to a great streetshitter thread)

But, what's not documented as well to newcomers: Everything has already been automated.

There just isn't much new development left to be done.

Tons of maintenance and paper pushing is the vast majority of the work at this point.

And supporting packaged products where you can't see the source code is the worst of all the IT assignments you can get (newfags mostly get put there).

So, keep that in mind if creating something from scratch is a big deal to you.

In the late 90's I was already well into my consulting career.

Without even asking I kept getting raises every couple of months.

All because of Y2K and the shortage of workers needed to backfit CC into all the YY only apps.

The programmer was king and we damn sure were cocky about it.

One sage old man from the punch card days said enjoy it while it last fellas.

The board rooms will strike back hard you'll see.

He was right - outsourcing and H1Bs really took off bigly shortly after 2000.

> Something's got to give.

Oh, yeah.

Prolly not habbening until after Globalization is finally destroyed by The Great Awakening tho.

And that goes for all the other industries that are run by Clown World as well - not just IT.

Concur.

But, that wasn't my point.

Y2K was the last time the programmer had power in the market in large numbers.

After that the suits made damn sure that would never happen again.

>many such cases

It's all kinds of industries that are a scam now.

IT is prolly the bellwether full of all kinds of examples of fuckery.

But, medical workers, engineers, etc. are all telling similar tales now.

The rot is deep and The Precipice needs to get here yesterday so people everywhere can start the process of cleaning this yuge mess up.

Everything comes down to The Great Awakening now.

The nature of work needs to be redefined.

Tech & automation has made the need for the large work forces of the Agricultural/Industrial ages obsolete.

Meanwhile there's never been this many humans on the planet.

Wut do?

I don't think any one person knows - the problem is simply too big.

But, until Clown World is destroyed it won't even be looked at and discussed the way it should.

I never said we were.

But, we are at the point where most jobs are mindless make work paper pushing ones from the corporate perspective.

And Fiat being printed like crazy is the only thing propping them up right now.
