This was hilarious!

Many very broad and general statements are made without any citations to back them up.

- Please be more specific.

The number of self-citations seems somewhat excessive.

- We added more citations.

Key points taken from here - https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1716587317257732472.html

1. Expanded H-1B cap exemptions would make it easier for research organizations to qualify for cap-exempt H-1Bs

2. Automatic cap-gap extensions will make it easier for international students to stay here after they graduate

3. The new rule would make it easier for immigrant founders to stay here on H-1Bs to grow their companies

4. Beneficiary-first selection would put immigrants in the driver's seat in picking between competing job offers. It would also help level the playing field by making it harder for IT outsourcing companies to game the system and boost their chances of securing visas

5. "Prior deference" will give certainty and predictability when it comes to visa renewals

Seems really promising!

This is great. I am have hired many many engineers over many years, and I have not seen a significant difference in the quality of engineers who had a formal CS degree vs. another quantitative degree (physics, math etc.). I have noticed some differences in engineers who have gone through bootcamps, but they are usually great at getting things done, so it has never mattered.

Also curious if there is a list somewhere out there for similar self-taught path for other subjects?
