Four episodes don’t define a single season (especially when it’s the first season) let alone an entire show with five of them.

Honestly it’s quite good even at launch, but yeah the patches have made it better

Same with simulators in general like flight/military/factory/etc

I actually played a fuck ton of new games and early access beta tests this year (34% of all playtime according to steam replay)

A bit defensive there…. It’s quite literally a harmless meme

Also, how does this have anything to do with house brain? Most hotels and apartment buildings don’t even come close to the sizes of some of these massive ones in China.

Because just that one company has shifted to cheaper offshore work right? Surely the entire industry just about isn’t doing the exact same thing right?

OH BUT THE ANSWER IS SOOOO SIMPLE! Just start your own business, everyone!! That’s all you need to do!!!

Literally everyone who voted on your comments downvoted you, aside from yourself…

My company is WFH but they tell me if I move more than a few hours drive from my local “hybrid” office it’s akin to quitting. My company is not alone in this.

You had to work with Indians to realize they’re just like us? 💀

I’ve had really good and really bad experiences with contractor companies from India. It’s truly hit or miss and more often than not you don’t get the same quality of code or commitment (contractor or not)

That said, I agree with pay. They work for cheap and it really hurts the industry here at home while helping the c-suite pocket more of the profits.

Not to mention the fact that the qualifications and the ability to communicate complex concepts and information without issue (in the language used by the rest of the company on shore) are almost always extremely subpar.

Too often I’m asked questions and I give thorough examples and ask if it makes sense and get a “yes” back immediately and then the next day rolls around and I’m asked the same questions by the same people and am forced to repeat the process.

I’m told these contractors are seniors with 10+ years of experience but act like junior interns.

But hey, the c-suite sees the real incentives here! Cheap labor!
