>>H1-B are killing amercian tech workers

Quite simply, Indian developers are the worst. If I never seee another one, that would be fine with me.

I have been working with them for over 15 years and have yet to see a single one that could write code that is sustainable or maintainable. It is always crap and it includes tons of “hard coding” that will need rewriting if the smallest thing changes.

Pull all H1-Bs, if you ask me.

Some are OK, but I’ve worked with some Indians who are the laziest good-for-nothings I’ve ever encountered.

And that’s just for starters!

Interesting my experience is the exact opposite. And they are much nicer guys.

Okay - this is just a DUMB and quite frankly racist statement (for once the race card SHOULD be played.) I’ve worked with HUNDREDS of Indian folks over the last 30 years in the computer design field. Some of the brightest folks I’ve ever met are Indian.

I’ve know some duds too - just like I’ve known American born duds.

I can safely say one of my two top bosses was an Indian, who is still a very good friend today. He is also VERY well known in my field having written some of the first text-books within a particular area.

Further, some of the most innovative companies in Silicon Valley have been started by people from India who have been trained both here and there, i.e. undergrad in India, graduate work here.

One good example is Magma - it’s number 3 in the EDA business, and has continually had more innovative products when compared to the number 1 and number 2 competitors.

Does this justify my position adequately???

Can I talk about the QA work I once did on Indian code?

It's as though they thought they were being paid by tare weight.

Cheers!
