Facebook and Google literally pay engineers an order of magnitude more to trick people into clicking on ads than Boeing pay some of its engineers to write airplane software.

"...while others consider closing their borders, let's tap this previously hidden source of talents, to offer refugees a future with us."

[Kris Braun @KrisABraun]

The amazing response to this challenge confirms my suspicion that #wrawesome is a very special place that is uniquely suited to be the world capital for displaced tech talent.

[Mohammed Jihad Hakmi @mjhakmi]

"... stop stereotyping refugees as a drain on resources and instead recognize them as skilled individuals who can help grow Canada’s economy by helping fill worker shortages across the country."

Such a great news and a big win @TBBforTalent
