Quite happy working in the UK still. There is no brain drain past the usual one related to being a tiny island but there is a shortage of staff. And we get paid handsomely not to fuck off :)
Might want to check up on dev salaries outside of the UK, I found the norm pretty terrible relative to CoL in London...

#42This is something that comes up time and time again with our recent string of conservative governments, going back to Cameron. At this point I'm pretty convinced that it is a dead cat strategy to avoid us talking about the lack of fruit and vegetables in the supermarkets. Or maybe I'm just being hopeful.
Do they blame brexit?

Strangely, we get flooded with resumes from England and Canada here in America. Yet the reverse almost never happens. Surely, these laws will help reverse this brain drain...

#46Sorry.

#47This is the same country that considered their advances in computing during World War 2 to be so important that they hid them and left the USA to capitalise on the innovation. We'll leave our poor UK cousins to carry out their "techxit".
Apparently our ability to break various crypto systems was regarded as too sensitive. I believe we continued to break encrypted communications for some time after the war, including those of our allies.
Would be interested if anyone knows of a good history of this aspect of post war Britain.

Whereas like here in Sweden you can buy tomatoes, but they now cost $10 per kg.

No real discussion on how European shelves don't appear to have this problem.
