The Boeing 737 MAX’s software was outsourced to India. It all makes sense now (www.industryweek.com)

Boeing's 737 Max Software Outsourced to $9-an-Hour Engineers
Mark Rabin, a former software engineer, recalled one manager saying at an all-hands meeting that Boeing didn’t need senior engineers because its products were mature.

Correct. They want to replace White male workers with literally anything else.

I'm not prepared to make a judgement one way or the other on the United Health CEO assassination.

But I will say that 'justice' and 'legal' are not synonymous. Particularly when we're living in a nation run by a government bureaucracy built on lies.

i'd wager near 90% of the government we labor under is wholly illegitimate and unconstitutional.

No, people should realise every single piece of shit CEO/globohomo grifter has a name and address. Luigi already proved that

You might as well just ask ChatGPT to write some code to make the flappy thing on a plane go up and down because thats the kind of quality you're gonna get.

Isn't ChatGPT just Indians in a wageslave center anyways? Or was that some other AI's controversy?

IIRC that was a cashierless store that used ActuallyIndians to tally your purchases as you put them in your cart.

Edit: Apparently it wasn't quite that bad - it was AI with humans double-checking everything, but the AI was apparently bad enough at its job that they abandoned the idea in favour of attaching the checkout scanner to the trolley.

What's the current college cope now that even STEM degrees aren't safe from the browns taking over?

At the outsourcing firm I work at(in Romania, another country where the majority of software companies are outsourcing firms) the cope was that clients leaving us for Indians will come back to us in a year or 2 to use us as overpaid jannies to clean up the mess left by them(and some of our clients did exactly that at least a few years ago).

I’ve worked with devs all over the world. Something is specifically wrong in India and China. They hire in masses and produce nothing.

I haven’t worked with Chinese devs but Indians have a culture of faking, scamming, and stealing - I’ve never had a good experience working with them.

When you try to explain to an Indian what you expect him to deliver, he’ll interrupt you to loudly declare “NO PROBLEM, SAR, ITS NO PROBLEM” sometimes even waving his arms. The impression you get is that you just asked a stupid question - like if someone was building you a house and you asked if there would be a front door. “Of course there’ll be a front door you idiot, this isn’t my first house”

But then with Indians you get a house with no front door. Then when you point that out they act like it’s no big deal to add one after the fact. It’s fucking infuriating.

Starting with the 787 Dreamliner, launched in 2004, it sought to increase profits by instead providing high-level specifications and then asking suppliers to design more parts themselves. The thinking was “they’re the experts, you see, and they will take care of all of this stuff for us,”

Typical managerial "thinking", engineers are fungible drones, the real "specifications" come from management.

What you get is 5yo level doodles drawn with crayons, handed down to a thousand $9/hr monkeys banging on keyboards.

What could possibly go wrong???

It should be atypical. It's short term profiteering over long term value building and good will generation. This didn't used to be the norm in the aircraft manufacturing business.

It's typical wall street/hollywood thinking.

Probably want to be careful using Tesla's "Supervised" Full Self Driving. Elon laid off a bunch of American workers and replaced them with H-1Bs a few months ago.

If you bring it up on X he wishes your account into the cornfield.
