The Off-Peak Advantage: How LLM Compute Scarcity is Fueling Global Tech Hiring
The 'centaur chess' model of AI-assisted programming—where humans guide LLMs like Claude Code—faces a critical bottleneck: peak-hour compute shortages that throttle AI performance. This scarcity creates a powerful economic incentive for US tech firms to hire engineers in off-peak time zones like Australia, boosting efficiency and resilience. As LLMs strain cloud infrastructure, global talent becomes key to unlocking 24/7 productivity.
