I'd make Quentin Tarantino have to do 8 Elmore Leonard adaptations before he did anything else (other tightly plotted pulpy novels would be allowed as well)

I'd make them recut Trading Places to remove the questionable blackface and Al Franken parts and replace with a bunch of Philly B-roll

I'd make them sell id software back to a bunch of nerds who read SIGGRAPH papers

childcare and medical costs might also count - I think both are easier to improve than housing affordability though (e.g. expanded child tax credit, expanded ACA subsidy)

I assume it's tied to stock-based comp from IC's to the C-suite, and eating your seed corn makes big number go up

the few places I know that are still good at it are:

Everybody just hires contractors through 3rd parties without the “we’ll train you up if you’re good” path up

They just want fresh faced CS grads who have never worked with anyone not like themselves

It’s not just goog, it’s industry-wide and I hate the disappearance of non-tech people being able to go from L1 support, DC tech, etc roles into FTE senior+ engineer roles based on talent

We need to take advantage of nostalgia for the brown part of the 70’s and 80’s and bring back 5 mph bumpers and sealed beams

We have to RETVRN to a time before the EU
I think we need to go further and demand dim yellow headlights like France used to
