interesting. maybe becauase I code all-day, every day, for couple decades, knowing what is inside software kind of important to me. what's under the hood.
The complexity involved. Most people just want to get on with their work and not get lost into details of self hosting (plus maintaining) yet another service. probably they've self hosted sth else and they're spread thin on resources.
> They're also extraordinarily good engineers so idk wtf is going on in Uganda.
Uganda has no respect for talent. When I was there it looked like most people are just trying to survive the next day, tbh. Because there is no platform to develop their talent. Also Uganda seems to be more focused on agriculture so it gets more incentives than other industries.
But you're right about the talented part, there are a lot of good engineers there but lack the opportunity. Remember meeting one who worked at Boeing in Missouri and he even had a few patents in the aerospace domain.
Yes, to some extent because AI only assisted the developer achieve their goal.
But the developer is clearly talented, no doubt about that. They know their stuff very well. Having tried writing a text editor myself, I could quickly tell they know their stuff by analysing the program design
Is there sth like this but for old reddit
