Although staffing companies have abused the visas but given the way industry is structured, staffing companies do fill a lot of positions for contract workers & consulting roles. Strictly speaking in terms of law they should be able to hire people on visa as well.

The most idiotic thing here is giving a visa to a company based on lottery. As the original comment pointed out, there should be a point system where you are graded based on education and experience.

Thank you very much for replying. I will take a look at the docs & github repo more closely and provide suggestions.

I want to find the guy who wrote this documentation :

"H2O is a powerful web server used and developed by Fastly" - Ok.

"H2O is a new generation HTTP server that provides quicker response to users with less CPU utilization when compared to older generation of web servers" - Great

This is where it becomes cringy : "H2O as a web server is very impressive and is seeing more and more use"

more

"I have used more web server frameworks than is reasonable. libh2o is by far the most impressive effort "

"The H2O maintainers are incredibly friendly and helpful."

I scrolled half the page and still doesn't provide any useful information.

If you happen to write or own any documentation. Please don't use filler use marketing language. Please.

I totally agree. I did Java certification 10 years back when I was a junior dev. At that time, many people and companies valued that on resume. Over time, people realized certification doesn't add any real value as things/technologies change over time. Nowadays people would doubt your skills if they see Java certification on resume. Also, Certifications are values in consulting market. If you are looking to work in core tech companies, it is better to invest that time learning something else. Also, I would say in those times people had no other way to showing that you have the skillset. We are living in an era where github is your portfolio. Do open source contributions or do side projects. That is a way more valuable skill than Java certification.

You are missing a point. every 1 regular job creates 3 non-regular jobs in the market. New businesses like restaurants, coffee shops etc will created which will boost local economy.

your comments is exactly what the article is about. Fault finding becomes a second nature for engineers/programmers.

I work with marketing agencies which has huge requirement for i18n & translations. I think there is definitely a market out there that would be interested in something like this. I have seen content creators creating different sets of images with translated text(takes many hours to manually do this right now). I am not sure how you are planning to offer this product/service, I would recommend offering it as an API which your clients can call from their applications.

How is it different from a payment terminal machine from bank?

In the other news, software engineers are the lowest paid workers in tech companies.

I think US as a whole is behind using QR codes for payments in general. One big reason is banks. The credit card culture of US made it almost impossible for new technologies to come and break the ground. Till this day there are banks who issue credit cards without chip and people prefer to use it.

No regrets in becoming programmer.

But I regret the way programmers are treated in industry these days. It went from a niche profession to industrial worker. Being a programmer these days is similar to a worker working in a car assembly line.

I am wondering how did you get a leap? Can you give more background?

You are not alone. It is really difficult to find cofounders who are really interested. Most people lack the perseverance required to see a product shaping up.
