The exact change
Article included quotes attributed to David Foote (Foote Partners) and Mark Thomas (Escoute Consulting) with no locatable source; a claim attributed to Jeff Barr in a 2024 AWS blog post with a specific 1.5 million/12 percent figure; a Foote Partners 'Q1 2025 report... 6.8 percent' figure; a CNCF survey '96 percent' figure; India/UK/Australia certification-premium percentages attributed to Naukri.com, Foote Partners European data, and Robert Half APAC; and a Robert Half '12 percent since 2020' geographic-gap-narrowing stat.
De-attributed the David Foote and Mark Thomas quotes to plain prose; softened the Jeff Barr/AWS claim, the Foote Partners 6.8 percent figure, the CNCF 96 percent figure, the India/UK/Australia percentages, and the Robert Half 12-percent-since-2020 figure to qualitative statements, while preserving the underlying real-world patterns (Kubernetes adoption, geographic pay convergence, international premium proportionality).
Suggested change
De-attributed 2 unverifiable named-expert quotes and softened 5 fabricated or unsupportably precise statistics to qualitative statements, while preserving the underlying real-world patterns (Kubernetes adoption, geographic pay convergence, etc.).
Why this is better
Applied fact-check corrections: de-attributed 2 unverifiable named-expert quotes and softened 5 fabricated or unsupportably precise statistics to qualitative statements.
