    When it comes to cost per implemeting SPEC, agents are far cheaper than human salary. So, it's not going to go well. That said thankfully there's no way of measuring a good SPEC ye…

    Education is not knowledge either. Today market most directly pays for skilled work that increases revenue/profit. Correlation drops after that. It's a struggle I've been trying to…

    The industry should give more security in exchange for reduced pay. We need a social movement for this.

    This could have a shot if we also recommend to companies that, they should convert overall pay to ~2/3 for employees, and with the 1/3 extra hire more people. so every company that…

    One idea we have discussed in my network is if as an industry reset we all said CS should become a 2X to 6X minimum wage career. So say 30k beginner to 100K senior/lead. This would…
