I take issue with some of the discourse I've read online today suggesting “lazy American culture” is the main driver for why we need to continue the H-1B program. Let's be real: tech companies getting massive breaks on cheap labor at the expense of the American way of life is predatory.

Blaming our culture for why American STEM grads won’t take underpaying jobs is ridiculous and insulting.

Full Thread here: nitter.poast.org

I was asked if teaching American kids coding from a younger age would make them want these coding jobs. My response? No, it won't. These jobs aren't fun, people.

But, do I think removing the incentive of attaining legal status would reduce the volume of foreign applicants? Absolutely.

And, guess what? That might finally force Big Tech to look for workers right here at home (and pay them a competitive wage). Americans expect fair pay, which means these companies would have to start sharing their wealth rather than hoarding it.

(sometimes these jobs are fun - when they're over and everything is running smoothly and you get to be a hero for a moment or two.)
