  • Every company I've been at follows this cycle: offshore to Cognizant for pennies, C-suite gets a bonus for saving money. In about two years, fire Cognizant because they suck and your code is a disaster, onshore, get a bonus for solving a huge problem. In about two years, offshore to Cognizant and get a bonus for saving money. Repeat forever.

    This will follow the same rhythm but with different actors: the cheap labor is always there, and sometimes senior devs come in to replace the chatbots because the bots are failing in ways offshore can't make up for: either fundamental design problems that shouldn't have been used as a roadmap, or incompetently generated code that offshore assumes is correct because it compiles. This will all get built up and built around until it's both a broken design AND deeply embedded in your stack. The new role of a senior dev will be contract work slicing these Gordian knots.

  • citizenship status, immigration status, national origin

    How?

    religious or philosophical beliefs

    So it actively listens in case someone says out loud they're a communist? Because I'm damn sure that "philosophical beliefs" isn't part of a purchase order.

    health diagnosis data

    Oh good. Soon AI will be watching my skin over time so my insurance can deny claims as "pre-existing" when the computer figured out before I did that I have melanoma.

    and genetic information.

    Genetic information. Amazing. I guarantee this means, in part, that they're literally measuring your dick with their cameras, because it's not asking for a blood test to start your car.

  • I can only imagine how disruptive that is. But if I absolutely had to have a shitload of Russian immigrants, I think I want the ones that disagree with their government so hard they're willing to leave the country.
