I would just say they (nerds) are perfect natural born betas. And I'm hot!

This is the process I went throught back in 2005 to get a job in IT after graduating in Business in Poland: 1. Got a position with an Indian company that promised a job after paid training ($5k) 2. After 3-month long training they totally and completely faked my resume. I.e. included 5-years experience, fake credentials, fake references. 3. Got me a job with large, large bank. 4. Got half my salary for 6-months. 5. After that I was on my own as I couldnt stand lies anymore.

From my experience 90% + people from H-1B is on these terms in the US. We had trainees on our "camp" that literally haven't seen PC keybaord before. Ending up as IBM tools specialists in Fannie Mea, Freddie Mac, Capital One.

This much about H-1B. And this much about interview process int the US too. And actually about dumb Americans who can't get a job in that country too.

My Dad got himself a brand new laptop (i7, 8gb ram, ssd, etc). And a brand new printer HP OfficeJet (big black shiny machine with all the bells and whistles).

He couldn't print his stuff for work. He called me up. After over an hour I gave up. Windows 8 couldn't figure out which drivers to use. The CDs attached with printer didn't help too. I mean the installation went smoothly, but then nothing was printed. Check your cables, etc. messages like we are still in 1996.

I don't have time for this BS. Drove back home, got my macbook pro. Came back to my Dad's home and did THIS: 1. connect printer to the mac 2. driver installs after clicking 'OK' or 'install', dont even remember at this point 3. print

that's it! Welcome back to 2015!

it is 10% talent and 90% hard work. Not the other way around.

I love coding Ruby. But all the design and front end work? From HTML5 to CSS. Forget it. But if I focused on "effortless" Rails coding only -- this would get me absolutely nowhere. Not to mention unix skills, administration, making customers happy, etc.

Sure, would be easier to work for a big corp and do Rails coding only. But then there are other hard or intolerable things there (intolerable to me!). Like bosses proud they can't code with BA's in Political Science. Or lazy coworkers. Or whatever else.

Life is hard and then you die. If you can find happiness in this sentence (and I can!), if you can still find sense in all of that and be happy somehow. That's happiness. Because sh*t always happens.

And all these rich young kids. They might have problems on their own too. They might have no social live. They might have had no childhood. They may have nobody candid to them to hang out with. They may be poor as far as their people relations go or as far as their free time goes. What's so awesome about working 24/7 and all the money when you have no time to enjoy it? This is being really poor. It's exactly like not being able to afford going to vacation because of lack of money. You can't go period. No money or no time, both make you poor. As lack of social live does.

no worries. Liberals have tendency to be lost every time you ask them about your Consitutiona Rights. At least you are not alone.

Do you think that we got 1st Amendment to talk about whether while drinking tea? No! We got them to ask hard questions. Like why blacks are 75% + od the prison population even though they are only 15% of the general population? `i won't get honest answer to this by anyone because you guys don't believe in human rights (right to free speech) and killed them.
