How about fixing corruption, pollution and infrastructure in India first, before asking people to not move abroad.

Wao. I used to respect Barkha Dutt as a journalist. But, didn't realize she was so anti-NRIs.

I thank my stars everyday for being an Indian citizen living and working in my own country instead of at the mercy of the whims and fancies of a foreign government’s immigration/ visa polices. How about living the Indian Dream instead of chasing the American one? #h1bvisas

This new H1-B 100K rule would accelerate the move of projects and talent hiring to India. Every big US tech company already has branches in Indian cities — now they would just double down on them. For 100K, they could easily hire 2 new engineers for a year in India.

This new 100K H1-B fee starting Sunday — with already worst pathway to citizenship — is a good reminder for Indians to consider Canada, Australia or the UK as the primary work destination instead of the US. Come to the US on TN or E3 visa, or EB1, not H1B.

X has become total shit show. It used to generate a feed based on your interests, it was a great way to hear from popular tech personalities and communicate with them. Now the whole feed sounds like Fox News. X is truly over.

I just really don't like Discord. I mean, I don't enjoy Slack, but I absolutely detest the chaos of Discord.

As a Go engineer, Zig is where it's at. Like what I see so far.

You should drop everything and read this @sama blog. I keep coming back to it every now and then just to remind myself of the trajectory I need to align with.

I have never seen so much value destroyed deliberately. This is the worst leadership ever.

@War4theWest OK - but quick thought experiment - let’s say there is a poor tribe on an island somewhere that has wild vanilla plants that don’t grow elsewhere. They’re desperately poor. And an enterprising American, Steve, travels there and teaches the tribe how to farm and grow a lot more

Prediction: Lobbyists will be in greater demand for the next 4 years than they have in living memory. We have a president who's (a) impulsive and (b) uninformed about most economic and diplomatic issues, and (c) whose supporters are even more ignorant, and eager for action.
