For a lot of computing workloads, including AI inference (and training), the user won’t notice the difference if it’s being done in a different country.

With the US’s ‘100% tariffs on Taiwanese chips’ to be taken ‘seriously, but not literally’, at some point it makes sense to build additional ‘AI’ capacity in Canada instead.

I tried to find additional info on the report’s ‘re-allocating a considerable portion of [its] projected international spend to the US’, but I am unable to find the original report, to see if there were additional pages.

Companies like that are very unlikely to change their view that engineering’s quality and sustainability practices are a perpetual waste of money.

That, and product doesn’t know what they’re doing, and they’re okay with making engineering also suffer for it.

Nor do they care in practice about the engineers getting burned out.

After you leave, when you glance back at the company at any time for the next 5+ years, you will see that they have learned pretty much nothing.

I’ve been burned out once, and I’ll never let it happen to me again, or anyone I work with. It’s like depression; it’s an indescribable experience.

Here’s one self-test to measure how burned out you are: https://www.peoplestorming.com/burnout-assessment.

That’s how you lose an election, and you’ll spend every night after thinking about how right you were.
