Nah bro. Tech workers have it crazy good here in Western Europe and they know it.noboby wants to be working 80 hour weeks so you can spend most of your income on rent, get fucked over on healthcare and employee rights, and that's just the people not relying on the green card.
That's seems logical. But where's the innovation then ?
There's plenty of it, it's just not as widely publicised. The company that designed the chips in your phones started off as a British company (ARM) , the heart of the operating systems of many phones, computers and servers started in Finland (Linux), one of the biggest enterprise software developers is German (SAP), the world wide web, including HTTP and HTML, was invented by a Brit.
I don't see them being able to say who can and can't use such and such tech they made or have patent about or something like that. ARM did but it was from USA pressure. Imagine if Torvalds said. I hate Dans, i don't want them to use my kernel or the brits saying wewill cut the net from France.
That's because the likes of CERN and Linus Torvalds open sourced their work. And it's a very good thing for the industry as a whole that they did.
And that's how it should be !
