[Yet, the U.S. government has been running a campaign for more than two decades to suppress wages in IT which has chased away talent.]

That’s correct.

There were two great parts to that incredibly STUPID movie.

1. Kevin Bacon’s role. A prepper who was protecting his family. He and his family would have survived.

2. The brand new Tesla’s crashing into themselves on the Long Island expressway.

Same firm hired by the DNC back in 2016 to investigate its e-mail leak, finding that ... it was the Russians.

Crowdstrike "determined" that the Russians "interfered" in US elections in 2016. That notion is an example of lying by omission. All global powers try to influence each others' politics, but the US govt. interferes in US elections much more than Russia is able to do.

flights in the air will stay in the air,

Takeoff is optional.

Landing is mandatory.

AOC doesn’t mind this. She wants to end all air traffic permanently to “save the planet”.

It is not the entire Internet...but most Windows based systems in large companies are affected. Most of the Internet infrastructure actually runs on Linux. There are likely holes in Linux that could as easily have the same affect too. This just demonstrates the problem with a monoculture. Whether agriculture or computers it is a bad idea

...I wonder how DEI impacts the IT area. Do companies do testing of applicants before hiring staff to be sure they’re competent? I know they used to, because I administered applicant tests. But now ... probably things have changed.

The turnover is high and the individuals are significantly less capable than their predecessors. I witness basic programming flaws that were resolved twenty years go show up because the programmers have no depth of experience. Companies pretend their staff can do the work but they're learning as they go. The clients end up paying the learning and the mistakes. Adding to the problem is that client companies don't have staff with enough knowledge to properly test the deliverables prior to acceptance and implementation of the program.

I'm disappointed but no longer surprised to see new programs go live without proper testing in parallel to the existing programs. The humans then have to deal with all the fallout. I worked at a multi-billion dollar company that had several dozen analysts depart after the company rolled out a very broken planning tool. These planners weren't going to be guinea pigs and beta testers for a program that couldn't even match the program it replaced, much less offered any improvement. They weren't going to have their salaries and bonuses impacted by failures in the new tool.

We had a lot of going-away lunches in that division. The company closed a few years after I left. Their computer problems were part of larger issue. The company wasn't sold or merged; the board closed the doors and sold off the assets because it was never going to catch up.

“I’m disappointed but no longer surprised to see new programs go live without proper testing in parallel to the existing programs.”

Exactly! Parallel systems.

I set up an online employment application program for a city around 2005. We ran the old system and the new system parallel for a month before all the identified bugs could be identified and resolved.

Also was involved in setting up 411 information for a state. Testing before going live was at least a month. We tested every which way HOPING to find problems. Then we were focused on DUPLICATING the problem(s). Deep dive into the system to (hopefully) work everything out before going live. And when we went live, still ran parallel systems for a month.

Seems that everything is seat-of-the-pants now. Just throw out a new system online and hope for the best. At that point, the users are the testers.
