      To be fair, labor has been an afterthought for the past 30+ years.

      And this ditty from Simon and Garfunkel predates that.

            Intel, Micron, and other computer chip makers have found ways to skirt Huawei sales ban, continue to provide parts so Huawei can continue to produce phones and networking gear.

            The quirk is components that US corporations would have created and then sell to Huawei aren't actually made in the USA, so they're still manufacturing them in their non-American factories and shipping them off to Huawei in spite of, but within the rules of, the ban.

                      Standard practice, and had absolutely nothing to do with the screwup, which is with the basic architecture. Coding is just bricklaying - if it’s not done right, it certainly can cause problems, but it’s probably not the first place you look after a building collapses.
                      If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                        Yeah, I've been avoiding wading into the Twatter swamp on that one. Lots of reasons why offshoring the software dev grunt work isn't that big of a deal. What's more concerning is that they thought they didn't need senior developers to properly architect the solution and oversee the offshore resources, which IS a standard best practice that it sounds like was thrown out the window in the name of cost-cutting.

                        Also $9/hr USD is firmly upper middle class in India. They definitely weren't outsourcing to some IT sweatshop that's hiring greenhorns from a 4-week bootcamp who can barely write a prod-ready "Hello World!" script and have no idea what coding standards or version control are.

                          This makes absolute sense. I should have given a little more thought before captioning the article.

                            Yeah but $9/hr in India being upper middle class doesn’t mean a ****ing thing when it comes to skill level relative to $160/hr American programmers. There’s a reason we don’t outsource our chemical reactor programming overseas.

                                Generally true. Doesn't mean that experienced offshore resources with good supervision and proper requirements are useless on mission critical projects though. The MSM is just dying to sensationalize something they don't know dick about for clicks.
