I don't know why people like arguing with facts.

you're pointing out facts - yet people deny. most software jobs listings are either in eastern europe or india these days. that's the "A.I" eating software jobs.

yeah some companies might list U.S jobs - but they're only seriously hiring for Staff roles. the rest offshored.

It's been a bad market. A lot of people on HN are ICs who are rightfully stressed and anxious.

The nativism and rejection makes sense with that regards - it's an almost religious hope that stuff will get better.

I just believe in being brutally honest - especially on HN, where I can vent or shine a light on decisions.
