    I agree - a lot is outsourced to India because it's cheaper. The problem is that they don't always produce what you want but what they think you want. What we in the west takes for granted and don't have to specify is uncharted territory in India. So if you order a pig you get a chicken.

    Which is no different from what doctors make today. There are a lot of doctors taking guesstimates from the sampled data they have on a patient. Unfortunately they don't always listen to the patient and think that the problem is solved when they have put in a treatment. Sometimes that causes patients to get a treatment on anti-depressants when the problem is with the thyroid. So they are just hiding the symptoms.

    I'm not sure about how expansive it is - it should be similar to ordinary hydrogen gas. But it's expensive to produce tritium and that's a different matter.

    How about both? A terminal as stupid as possible where everything you run is on their servers. Unless you have decent coverage you won't even be able to call an emergency service because you need to download the emergency service app first.

    I agree.

    If you think you have the ego of Jupiter you may put down some key stuff on a VeraCrypt partition/drive requiring a password or key file to unlock. Not everything, just some small pesky parts that's an annoyance if it's not in place. Like scripts for automatically mailing key users when stuff goes down. When it's no longer running they have to check everything manually. Such small details that can bug the heck out of people without stalling the operation.

    The point of an effective sysadmin is to keep stuff running without people noticing that stuff has broken down. If your sysadmin looks idle and relaxed then all is good. If he looks stressed out you have a real problem.

    Another thing - don't let someone go crazy with Enterprise Architect, it never ends well. It's good if you have a small solution but when stuff grows to a large system you waste too much time maintaining your model and too little on trying to solve the problems you have.
