Tech companies don't want to pay senior, knowledgeable engineers what they're worth so they claim they're over-qualified.

Which results in more of our tech being designed and implemented by people who are under-qualified without proper mentor-ship and industry-specific history lessons.

The entire industry has it's eyes closed as to the real cost of software. Right now, the consumers are paying for that cost through intangible side-effects which become tangible once democracy fails, cars crash…

One reason I started Builder was because of how painful it was to work on VMware's Gtk-based products back in the day. So having gnome-boxes build in Builder to run a VM with a self-contained SDK powered by Flatpak is a huge success on that front.

I'm mentoring three GSoC students this semester for Builder. Gonna keep me pretty busy :)
