> It's very much a classist country where you position in society is determined by your immigration status.

Tell me, which country does not prioritize it's citizens first?

Considering that at least the males of the country are forced to serve in the army in their primes, most of them unwillingly, I think you migrants got the better end of the deal.

> And I’m a taxpayer. Net, I pay more taxes than a citizen with the same income.

Imagine being so capitalist/money-pilled it entitles you to greater rights than citizens. The citizens have made sacrifices for their country so people like you could work in it at top dollar. Don't ever forget that.

I’m just asking for equal library fees bro, not even a tax-advantaged savings program like CPF.

You're not getting it. You can certainly ask for equal library fees without putting in that part where you pay 'more' taxes and are more deserving.

The quote "vastness of an ocean with the depth of a puddle" describes what the AAA-hollywood games complex aspire to be.

One theory is that building/maintaining games is knowledge work, and each worker you retain helps with that. But as always, human social groups can deviate against the common good, but they can also boost it, and in this case even protect against abuses of the masses workers by management.

I'd think you overrate christianity too much. Javanese culture is known to be very welcoming of other traditions.

I'm a little more interested how they automated the process to such a degree. How do they do it? Subagents?

After about three weeks I hand drove three agents in parallel for 8-10 hours/day. There is very little automation.

Damn. Props to them, looks great. Always experienced 40k through books and games, there's so much difference when it's a universe.

Disagree. School exams test for academia-readiness too. And sometimes the schools and lecturers are filled with ideology irrelevant to real work.

Career exams tend to be a mix but a lot less ideology.

isn't the process per connection restriction pretty heavyweight though?

Psychologists have been saying for ages that a good job interview is a small version of what the job requires them to do. But as always with most professions with people (and hence ego) involved, these people either mimic what the trending company in their sector does or test irrelevant academia knowledge.

Maybe for such changes to happen the whole profession to go down a notch in prestige. Not sure if people can stomach that.
