A design doc would help narrow down the number of prototypes to 2 to 3 in all the available options. This is especially useful if you are exploring adding something completely new.

Though i feel that showing is better than telling, when new people onboard they have a easier time understanding via a design doc than code.

not really, many of the states does not use last name and many take up their fathers name as last name. It also varies from state to state, so the probability of you identifying another person caste from their last name is very small.

With many people taking different names that are modern from parents ,its really hard to know .

the middle management especially half cooked engineers who drank the cool aid and became managers are hard to reason with.

They want to be both the architect and the manager and anything you say would be over ruled and since they are the boss its hard to ignore them.

This service is a monolith because it has 10K code and it needs to be broken up.The product is at MVP and its rock solid on Java Spring and it hardly crashes. We are never going to lose data based on the design choices we made. None of that matters.

We need zero down time upgrade, when we had zero customers.

In USA, if you are on h1b you cannot claim unemployment since your work visa is restricted.

So even though h1b folks pay into the system they cannot claim unemployment.

Visas/green cards are given to people and not countries

The people waiting in the employment green card lines are evaluated on the same set of criteria . Their ability to perform a particular task for their employer.

> The US didn't invite them

i have to disagree with you on this.

USA did invite them here and provided a dual intent visa(H1b).

Every H1b visa holder did go to embassy and got interviewed by US Visa officer.

so USA very well knew the people who were invited to work in USA can become a US citizen eventually.

I agree with you that immigration is a privilege not a right.

However it's not good for a nation to discriminate people from certain countries worse than they treat people from rest of the world.

No system is perfect, and we go through iterations of refining the laws/solutions.

What most people are calling out is this discrimination in a peaceful manner and asking for a change.

Without people asking for change, nothing would have changed in history. The entire labor rights and freedom from slavery were as a result of people asking for a change and to be treated equally on the same set of standards.

American culture(as i understand) is based on concept that anyone can raise up and become successful based on ones own merit. The current legal immigration system for Indians fails to provide it.

And people are currently pointing out the flaw in the system.

many are choosing not to come. The US student visa has been on decline especially from india and china.

What about people who are already here for decades ?

Some don't understand the complexity of the system and think their case will be different
