Why doesn't the UK have a good software industry

>>105753111 (OP)
all of europe doesn't have a good software industry
we just don't pay enough for it to be as enticing, and all the restrictive data protection laws and shit make it hard to yolo tech unicorns compared to the US

>>105753233
>we just don't pay enough for it to be as enticing
Nobody has the will really.
Money is a factor but ultimately nobody wants to build things for the sake of it.
Even in the US it's "software" industry is split between entrenched companies and startups just hoping to get a bag.

There really is no true spirit in anything people do anymore and its going to eat the west alive if it doesn't wake up.

Because the US already provides everything for them, so why bother?

why work in the UK for 40k a year when you can get four times that in USA?

all the talent leaves

>>105753111 (OP)
uh this is actually completely fine

The UK became an overregulated nanny state. This impeded the creation of small businesses and startups. This means the UK missed the tech startup boom of the 90's and 2000's, and the resulting gains of having your own tech giants to hire local SWEs. The British are arguably better at tech than Americans so it wasn't a problem with talent, just circumstances and desire. Socialism hurts.

This is the nefarious thing, it's rarely any one off policy. It builds up over time and at every level of government. Look into what it takes to start a software small business in the UK and legally register it and that's where you will find out. Step after step after step, waiting, high cost to employ fellow Brits. It isn't as simple as "I have a company now" and it discourages most.

>>105754236
In the US you avoid most if the bullshit if you have money.
Live in a decent neighborhood, you probably have multi-gig ethernet, lower crime rates, people are nicer, etc
Gainful employment often means health insurance with no cost to you.
You can get any food you want.
Overall there is still more to do and have which is why people move to the US.
The EU is probably better if you want to just be a normie and never aspire to anything but everyone with talent still prefers the US because they don't punish those who do aspire to be something.

>>105754236
There's no point in making these roundabout assessments of overall money in/money out. There's a metric called purchasing power index and the US beats the UK by about 50%. Move to the US for a 50% pay rise across all jobs, probably more in certain industries.
The obesity rates are pretty much the same too. The UK is the fat man of Europe.
Combo it with this (>>105754738) and the US is the better choice so long as you don't mind the culture, which is more subjective. The UK doesn't have any left anyway.

Was in the UK last year for two weeks for work and was blown away with how fucking brown it was. Arabs/persians/jeets everywhere. There were more brown immigrants than anyone else in London and Manchester. A lot in Edinburgh but not nearly as much.

I joked with my Brit coworker that they got reverse colonized and he was visibly upset.

Can we not have those >>>/pol/ threads? It's pointless even. Look:
This is way beyond the tipping point. The trend will not be reversed. Europe will have no industry soon. Most European people will not exist much further.You're watching a corpse twitching after it's death.There is nothing you can do about it realistically. Your commentary is a waste of time, it is not going to trigger anything that it isn't far too late for. It is also pointless how the people of the global west are pointing fingers at each others in a fashion that is indistinguishable from 'haaa haaa you gkt it even worse than us! '
Live your life. Make the best of it. There's nothing left you can do for such a thing as your culture, your nation, civilisation, humanity or any such thing. Just be a decent person and live out your life. No need to be a crybaby about the past.

local regulatory business overhead is at odds with the requirements software business to be profitable in a world where competition is global.

We have no banks that would give us credit to start a business or even buy a server.

>>105757868
>buy a server
buy your cheap raspberry pi locally, you can generate 80% of business value with a single raspbery pi 4 8gb before you ever need to scale up to anything else, ultimately the bigger problem is inherent laziness, the brits of today are not the same brits of yesterday who jumpstarted the industrial revolution

When I was 12 I made a wow server on my shitty computer and had 1000 concurrent players, a friend of mine was into programming so he slaved away for me writing all the fun logic of the server. I was packing 1000$ a month and that was a looong time ago in balkans lol.

Why do nonwhite males like hoods so much?

>>105758005
>shitty computer
exactly my point, you dont need credit to start a business and buy a server, when servers are dirt cheap, you have people paying thousands to AWS just to right some stupid static website

Youre acting as if it was contradictionary. I am asking OP to put a thread on the board where it belongs. It's very clear what sort of sentiment this thread is meant to stir up and its also obvious this thread has at best remotely to do with tech.
I don't see where the contradiction is. A thread like 'hurr immigration' belomgs on >>>/pol/ period.

Getting a job in the English plains or their neighbors is hard. Too little jobs posted and too many applicants. At least it isn’t the Nordic countries, those don’t advertise jack shit and you only get a job through connections. It’s nepotism/cronyism on steroids over there

Yup
>have to be careful you aren't eating disgusting poisoned US meat
It's literally fine, just buy more expensive meat if you're paranoid
>have to tip every time anyone does fucking anything no matter how minor
Tipping is literally optional, that's what a tip means. The only place it's expected is a sit down restaurant where a waiter comes to your table
>have to drive everywhere
Which is awesome, why would you want to walk like a peasant
>everything contains corn syrup
Just don't buy those things then
>internet is dogshit quality, no choice in providers
Most cities have fiber, delivering in the ballpark of 500Mbps. I'm personally paying $40 a month for 50Mbps which is plenty
>everyone is a fucking whale (people in the UK are fat too, but the US is on a whole different level)
70% overweight or obese in the US compared to 64% overweight or obese in the UK according to Google, so basically the same
>can't have banter, americans just think you're being serious all the time
Implying British humor is funny
>If you get ill you are financially ruined
Just get health insurance through your job or Obamacare if you're unemployed and you're literally fine
>far higher risk of being killed due to higher murder rates per 100k
6.61 murders per 100k so scary!!!

And I dont see any argumentation in your response, only an attempt at insults. It's almost as if you either joined discussions without the intention to be part of discussions or found yourself lacking arguments but unwilling to admit the outcome of your dialectic efforts.
