This framework would be hard to apply to unknown unknowns. That's why in software engineering you'd apply canarying. Then the longer timeframe for potential negative effects, the slower the adoption of a new process should be.
There are other countries in the world or even in the EU where salaries are lower than in Poland. Why don't they see the similar growth? I guess this is more nuanced than just lowered salaries can explain it. Surely, that's part of the equation but to develop highly innovative economy, one needs to start with something. That's how China started, how Korea started etc.
I think the way to go is that you do such big backwards incompatible refactors gradually. Eg you want to make all the callers specify some additional parameter. So first you create a version of your API which populates this parameter with some reasonable default. Then old API is marked deprecated and is just calling new API with that default value, and then you inline everywhere the old api. After a while it’s possible to remove the old API.
That said you need of course some tooling to somehow discover all the callers reliably and do those migrations on a large scale.
Easier to do if all the code is owned by one org but harder if you can’t reliably tell who’s using your APIs.
However having centralized migrations is really saving a lot of work for the org.
Weren’t only the platforms that failed to register with the government banned? As I understand it, if they comply with the new regulations, they should be unblocked.
I also work for a FAANG company and so far most employees agree that while LLMs are good for writing docs, presentations or emails, they still lack a lot when it comes to writing a maintainable code (especially in Java, they supposedly do better in Go, don’t know why, not my opinion). Even simple refactorings need to be carefully checked. I really like them for doing stuff that I know nothing about though (eg write a script using a certain tool, tell me how to rewrite my code to use certain library etc) or for reviewing changes
