   @coolboymew @ChristiJunior Yes, I'm sure it had to do with the cost thing.
   
   If you're only going to pay skilled programmers $15 an hour (which even pre-scamdemic was getting to be low), you're only going to be able to get third worlders who can "live like kings" from that wage.

     @nom @ChristiJunior @coolboymew Colleges churn out people to do the "same ol thing".
     
     It's not about learning the theory of why you do something. It's about learning how to do it and make the money. It's learning about how to be conformist as shit for whatever your wagie boss wants, so you're spending millions of dollars buying up talent from Full Sail and CalArts to animate The Emoji Movie or whatever crap they churn out.

     @Pawlicker @ChristiJunior @coolboymew Real problem is that it's tough to get anything new/original into the market when you're paying people to do the same ol'thing

     What you need is gangs of nuts trying new things, some outside a co on their own, some inside a company... depending on their personalities, etc. That's how it works

     If you hire folks to do "same as everyone else" work then you get sumthin like an old employer of mine, Disney, who never really does anything uniquely fun / original

     @Pawlicker @ChristiJunior @coolboymew Nahhh the college crowd is a mixed bag.... lots of creative people on campus some graduate some don't but it's actually a great place to mix things up if you're creative.

     The unusual upper division classes really get things going too... lots of crazy ppl show up in those it's great.
