Racing to the bottom by paying talent more and more and more?

I feel like companies are investing even more in the long term than ever before, building increasingly ambitious infrastructure projects.

I don't see what you see at all.

I haven't seen any company do that in a very long time. What industry are you working in?

I work in e-commerce at Shopify. My company is building some great developer experience stuff for the long-term like some truly excellent cloud-development environments.

My previous company, Oracle, was developing an entirely new kind of language virtual-machine to run the programming languages of the future as well.

I see this in many places.

That's just long term product planning. The rest of the people here are talking about long term employee development - making your employees more valuable so they produce better products rather than treating them as costs that must be reduced.
