I did. And your excerpt says nothing about the ‘American right’ and the ‘American left’. It only states ‘economists and politicians’. Your argument continues to smell of projection.

Source for the ‘american left’ opinion please, it sounds like projection / bullshit.

As an ‘alum’ of this intake process I feel pretty qualified to opine on it.

What’s your opinion founded on?

From the opposing position, my last three companies have placed me in the position of automating necessary tasks just to keep up with the task list, with absolutely zero support from the applicable Dev team. What’s worse, I’ve had tickets in for ~19 months requesting minimum necessary business and functional requirements, and I get passed around like a bloody hot potato.

My choice becomes, fail in my role, or try to spin up some automation myself. The second choice is the less-worse outcome.

That your company has an in-house software dev team is impressive. Does the revenue-generating business have access to that team?

What? No. That’s a gross oversimplification. You’re welcome to learn more :

I’m a little surprised that they would share a cabin with a tourist.

Three weeks is my personal record for proper jobs, not counting walkout from bait-and-switch jobs.

Interviewed at two places, accepted the one that gave an offer, then 3 weeks later the second place provided a better offer. Accepted the better offer and handed in resignation. I know the bridge is now burnt at place 1, but no regrets.

Look after number 1.
