I would argue that JS is not just a language, it's a mindset, and that mindset is, "I just want to write javascript, for the love of god don't make me learn more than I absolutely have to."

It's... unique, in the software dev world, I think. Node.js is not the right tool for this job, but god bless the folks who insist on using it here anyway.

I personally haven’t noticed a meaningful drain on my M1 air, but I don’t pay much attention, and power is always an arm’s reach away.

Just to be clear, I make no value judgement about Asian cultural norms w/r/t chip manufacturing, my comment is merely meant to suggest the employment experience probably will be adjusted to fit American cultural mores, so the concern that few Americans would want these jobs isn’t entirely fair.

I am entirely unqualified to judge cultural advantages/disadvantages in the manufacturing industry.

Honestly, based on the content of this video and the replies from the prior HN thread, it seems like folks are locked into the belief that the current manufacturing... "experience" (for lack of a better term) for the workers involved will be lifted from Asia and dropped into the US, but that doesn't actually make any sense to me.

Sure, that's how the world knows how to make chips now, but given the varying laws between those two places, and the varying workforce cultures, I think it's safe to say that adaptations will be made to the experience to suit American workers, and those adaptations won't result in meaningful drop offs in quality or execution.

As an outsider, it seems pretty clear that the rejection to the industry is more about the cultural mismatch than it is to the actual work needing to be executed.

It's just weird to me that people really believe nothing about the job will change, and all of the Asian cultural aspects of the way the job is currently executed would be dropped on American workers with zero adjustments.

That's just manager talk for "we weren't needed here". For example, you say "important role" but who called it important? Were the engineers demanding someone do this job, or was it presumed to be an important job when someone was building out the team?

If someone came into a highly-demanded (by the team itself) role and turned the responsibilities around into work the team can take care of on its own, that's valuable work for sure. But if this was just a role created by an executive as a result of, "We've always needed one of these", then maybe not so much.

They cannot, no.

Dunno why the comments aren’t there anymore but nothing here is even remotely against GDPR, as no user information is actually given to the new meeting host.

Got it in the edit, thanks!

I strongly believe AWS and Amazon's retail revenues need to be split somehow. It is, on top of all the usual monopoly problems, very misleading to investors.
