I cannot imagine why any first-world companies allow any other first-world companies to do this; they're literally eroding each other's customer base. It's madness.
They're burning one another's customer bases to provide the heat needed to forge those golden parachutes.
And here we go...the Race To The Bottom for American jobs. Yippee, thanks Corporate America!
I recommend learning a skill or trade that can't be outsourced. Something that's hands-on, or something that most foreign workers simply can't do very well. (Tech writing and actual physical service work come to mind, but I'm sure there are others.)
Writing has served me very well in that regard. The work gets "outsourced" to me, wherever I happen to be.
I think toxicity does exist but it's not really a fault of the developers as much as the medium.
If you work in an office and are able to talk to your co-workers directly it's pretty easy to have good relationships. There's lot of opportunity to talk about pleasant non-work stuff, the proximity incentivizes you to keep things civil, and when you do disagree you have body language and tone to help get your point across.
If you turn to an email only relationship all of these things are gone. There's not a lot of opportunity to bond over non-work items, the fact you never see the other person physically means it doesn't matter much if you piss them off, and if you need to communicate something you need to be very blunt.
Online communications will invariably have a much stronger bias towards assholery.
I have 10+ years working in a highly (internationally) distributed environment that says it doesn't have to be that way.
It is definitely up, here's a paste of the header:

I regularly compile a product that has 30M lines of code...
Slashdot discussion pages don't count, sorry.
Whereas you're a humourless moron, and that's somehow better.

This is exactly how MySQL went from a garage operation to a billion-dollar company in 10 years or so.
They hired the best they could find, wherever they could find them.

Prototyping, baby, prototyping.
There are ways to test for self-awareness--here's one.
What could possibly go wrong?
Actually watched some regular TV the other evening and saw 7 or 8 of these ads in a 2-hour span. And this is in Sweden. WTF?
You obviously do.
I knew I'd heard of this guy before.
One of the strengths of the original series is that many (maybe most) of the really good episodes *were* morality plays.
Also, what you consider "hysterics" was the overacting that was fairly typical for 1960s American television.
That implies that they made a *second* Starship Troopers. Let me deal with *that* bit of trauma first, then I'll get back to you.
Hej drinky,
The raison d'être for my post was that some people had reported that the link was not working.

I was going to paste the entire commit but Too many junk characters.
WTF? I thought this was a tech site and I can't even post code here anymore. What a fucking crock.
You.
No, on his really good days, he does helpful things like getting access to /. from Tor blocked.
Kerry has another year as head of state...
No he doesn't.
John Kerry is Secretary of State.
Barack Obama is Head of State.
("Head of State" has a clearly defined meaning and it's got nothing to do with the State Department.)
An old-timer?
Linefeeds take up bytes, too. Especially after each one gets turned into a <p> or <br>.
Fat lot of good it did them then.
Because someone disagreeing with your choice is the same as preventing you from exercising it?
You ever live there? Evidently not.
This. This. This. This. THIS.
