The average person has No Idea of the actual damage that Trump has done. I met with a very senior person in tech at a global bank today, and the stuff they're now having to plan for is now completely batshit insane - just to protect themselves from geopolitics. Insights:
1. US tech companies, including hyperscalers are fucked.
2. Open source is a strategic imperative, no matter the cost.
3. It may not sound like it right now, but developer demand is going to go sky high.
4. AI - hahahahaha

I will likely run a session for my workplace on data sovereignty as I'm certain most seniors there have no clue about such concepts, the reality of what that implies for a smaller company with limited sys/dev capacity however, will be heavy, the resistance to migrate from G or M$ will be high. (Lucky we have avoided getting snared by M$ but the boss still regularly blurts: "..and when we go back to M$..." as though we actually used paid licenses ever...
