If you’re talking about India / China working for US firms, it’s supply and demand again.
It’s clearly not. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have a software guy left standing inside the US.
I interviewed with a shop in a University town that had a mean 6 month turnover rate for programmers
That’s just a bad business.
I can do what needs doing without AI.
More power to you.

India / China can do a lot of things. For my company, they’re very strong in terms of producing products for their domestic market. They’re not super helpful per-capita on the US market oriented tasks, but they’re cheap - so we try to use them where we can.
There’s not a lot of good US software employees standing around unemployed… A lot of what I have interviewed as “available” are not even as good as what we get from India, but we have a house full of good developers already.
While I might reflexively agree, you have to ask yourself: from what perspective? Their customers may not be the happiest with the quality of the product, but for some reason they keep buying it and the business keeps expanding and making more and more profit as the years go by… in my book that’s a better business than the upstanding shop I worked for for 12 years that eventually went bust because we put too much effort into making good stuff through hiring good people to make it, and not enough effort into selling the stuff so we could continue to operate.
