Here is my situation. You decide if I’m stupid. We’re evaluating an alternate database for our product already on prod. I sat in along with my manager for meeting with 5 folks from mongodb. They presented the annual cost for a licensed usage of mongodb enterprise for 500 gigs of ram at $132k annually. So my question in the end was - “If I were to simply install mongodb on our server with more than 500gigs of ram allocated across the mongo cluster by aws, how would you police us down for the extra usage? Is your server recording ram usage and sending it back to you?” Everyone was silent and the account t manager from mongo said : “Well it’s an honour system, we trust a big company such as yourself to use the product accordingly , we don’t police or check”, my manager followed up with a jovial remark “I don’t know why you ask such questions “. End of the day, I felt super stupid. Point being - I’m not a hidden genius or anything, sometimes I just ask in haste without thinking through.
Here are my two cents, the relationship of the VISA should be between the government and the VISA Holder. The fact that companies act as sponsors of this VISA is literally indentured servitude. Companies gladly exploit indian workers by gobbling unreasonable hourly commissions and paying peanuts because the Indian worker has no other option and was sold this american dream. Remove the company from this equation and everything should sort itself out.
I didn't really grasp the parameters used to grade success and failure. Tesla's Elon Musk suffered a rocket explosion with the Space X programme, and an autopilot car crash that cost a human life. Amazon had one of its employees commit suicide last year. How are these even put through the winner category. I suppose money talks and everything else is a factor on a balance sheet.
