As an experienced Canadian developer who is seeking a work visa to work in the US, it is actually extremely difficult to get one.

It seems as though the US prioritizes shit-developers/wannabe-engineers over experienced Canadian developers. Which kind of makes sense, in that you feed your own before feeding your neighbour.

That's not the reason. If that were the reason, death would swiftly make it so the best engineers are those with degrees.

In Canada, you get sued if you call yourself an engineer when you're not part of an order of engineers.

What would be the two problems?

How would you envision the net though? A net does sound simpler but I have a hard time picturing it

What does it mean that a leg broke? Correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm no expert, but I'd assume that there'd be some 'emergency' backup legs to address this kind of event?

What does "not upright" mean? Did it crash? Or is it simply in limbo, leaning, at an x degree angle?
