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

@wyliecoyoteuk @frak If you can be cut off overnight from your own systems on a madman's whim, even if they're hosted in-country...

Same can be said of any on-prem software with a licensing kill switch. It's all on the way out.

I've started the conversation with our CTO, but I don't think they're taking it seriously yet.
