comment Is programming as a career in the US being hurt by competition from programmers in India?
@Bernard, you have to look carefully for developments over the past 3 years; these things ate not openly published. Here are some links from as early as his first days at office, to current , also this. Should indicate a pattern.

@Guy Not to mention that Obama government has mostly fixed the problem of influx of programmers working for very low wages, and the middlemen who dragged down the wages.

comment How to support design decisions?
+1 for be open; in general, it is evil to discourage ideas. I have seen the ideas that sound most absurd lead to wonderful solutions. And for the worst thing, a story: We have an youngster who suggested that he will create a property file driven meta language for defining business logic to handle all XML payloads of the application: extensible enough for us to change things at run-time. As absurd as it sounds, I transformed the idea into using rule-bases, and was plenty helpful.

+1, very good answer. I will carefully apply (keeping Mark Twain's, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." in mind)

+1, agree. Your quote, Nice try, but that will not be feasible because of X and Y is dead on; I was looking for the X and Ys you have used for convincing, or have found convincing.
