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
Tech/data sovereignty is now a top 3 factor in investment decisions. Fedi discourse has been ahead of the game.
If you're an open source committer on a data platform there is a payday coming the likes of which COBOL programmers can only dream.
