Between patents and outsourcing, yes, we're screwed. We can't go into business for ourselves without huge risk from a patent suit and we can't work for someone else because of outsourcing. It's a catch 22!
Does anyone else predict that if people keep pushing to make products via cheapest labor that the world will no longer be able to buy products? It's like a rat race to poverty.

The word "Engineer" in a job title adds about $10,000 a year to a salary, other than that, technically nothing.Quote:

Disiance
I think a slight amendment should be made to the title of this thread...
Endangered species: Half-decent US programmers.
There are shitloads of US coders out there many of them are script kiddies or Cobol writers ( :lol: ).
I know several people that call themselves coders simply because they wrote a batch file 3 years ago.

isn't this usually how industry works? why are we complaining?
we make something great, it gets old and someone else does it for us as we move on to bigger and better things.
so I say too many people want to be "coders" because of the image, and they think it will be "cool". I chose against it because I decided I wanted to do something more interesting with my life than sitting at a monitor picking out bugs for the rest of my life.
Programming is a skill, not a career. :)
and after reading my post you can tell that I didn't switch to an english major :p
Still it puts the job in the first qutile meaning its at the top income level.Quote:
