What kind of bad faith argument is this? They poster did not make any claim about the quality of Brazilian software devs. They made a statement about offshore contractors.
Poster replied to:

> Brazilian and Mexican SWE contractors, in particular, have advanced considerably in quality from just a decade ago, and can now easily replace US-based workers at half the cost without compromising quality.

I have replaced a few US-based workers and the ones that I didn't, some of them could easily be replaced by other Brazilians I have worked with.

The poster said nothing about Brazilians or Mexicans. He said something generically about contracting.
you got triggered? Guess poster isn't the only one replaced by offshore consultants. I missed that this might be a sore spot for some.
