> They want higher salaries, damned' be what it does to competitiveness.

You're advocating against people seeking higher salaries because that hurts competitiveness? That is competitive behavior in a nutshell.

It's local maxima vs global maxima. Or 10% of small pie vs 1% of big pie, etc. More to the parent's point though, HN demographics have changed just like all other social media. It's not the SF Bay area tech scene anymore; it's a global townsquare like x.com. So it's hard to separate the signal from the noise.
