Have rank and file developers ever tried to form any sort of association to advocate for their own interests, which seem adverse to those of founder types? It would seem like there are a couple hundred thousand tech types in California alone who would prefer not to have compete with a new flood of H1B and other visa holders. I support the type of candidates that this story is about but my fear would be that it's a back end run by the entrenched interests to turn a small pathway into a large one, and a couple years later we awake to find thousands of ''exceptional'' cubical dwellers in Infosys' new offices.
