I think the problem I have with the culture shift is that it's not really fair or balanced. Trump supporters get death threats, are called some of the worst names, and are doxxed online. It's been happening for 4 years and the media/tech community just ignores it.
There is even a new website that will be dedicated to doxxing Trump supporters and encouraging 'aggressive protesting' at their home.
This is more about getting rid of your political enemies and taking power than giving a shit about feelings and the way we treat each other, which is why it won't ever stop.
I oversee the hiring of dev shops for a mid-sized company in the US and the rates for e-commerce/web development are all in the $120-$150/hour range.
The funny thing is that some of these companies outsourced to the Ukraine and India and the rates didn't change. I would have thought that we would at least see some of the cost savings.
Both companies that outsourced ended up being complete disasters (we are still cleaning up the technical debt 3+ years later), which happened before I was involved.
Since this is the case, it made no sense to hire any company that didn't hire all developers directly in the US or Canada (which is now a requirement).
I suppose I should thank these companies, because it's the reason I have a job today.
