So, how it works is that someone posts their resume on a job board, such as dice.com. Then they get calls, emails, and texts, sometimes over 50 PER DAY from some random dude in India who is "recruiting" for a job. He has absolutely no idea what the job is and knows nothing about web technology. Some idiots go for this, then those resumes are sent to a "project manager" who also has no idea what the job is and knows nothing about web technology. Based on key words in the resume, the person gets hired. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!!
THAT is the "IT infrastructure" that everyone is so dependent on. And you wonder why airlines suddenly shut down? Why banks screw up all the time?
NO ONE stops to see: 1) Does this project really need to happen? Is it making people's lives better in some way? 2) What is the most efficient way to accomplish this goal? 3) How do we make this operation very very secure?
NO ONE.
AND, get this, this is how ALL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT "INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY" IS DONE.
This also means that hiring "highly qualified" people from other countries is complete bullshit.
Ask anyone who works in this field about this.
Be thankful that all this is coming out before Trump takes office. It would have been bad news if Elon and Vivek "fixed" the government.
Also, remember, debate is part of living in a free country.
