midhunsezhion The Alpha Myth: How captive wolves led us astray

midhunsezhion I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA

I was in the USA on H1-B for 3.5 years and moved to India in 2019. My employer recently applied for my H1B, but it got rejected stating that I'm subject to the fiscal year cap (“lottery”). The company lawyers have turned the case around and re-filed it because I've had H1b in the past and didn't use my full quota of 6 years and should be cap-exempt now. Have you seen this happen before? Does USCIS typically correct itself when it makes a mistake in a reasonable time? (fwiw, my case is filed as premium)

Thanks in advance!

midhunsezhion How to Hire Good Engineers

> "This was my reason when I first joined, but I have so many more reasons to want to work here at Reforge now. My personal goal is to turn it into a $100M company. (Now they answer)"

Love this style. Acts as much better persuasion tactic than simply asking them, "why do you want to work at xx?"

midhunsezhion Functional, Stateless JavaScript Finite State Machines and Statecharts

My coworker showed this to me as a suggestion to use for capturing our existing state flows with the aim of using it as a reference when we migrate our legacy codebase to react/redux. I think this is wonderful. Any thoughts on this? I would also love some alternatives you've used to document requirements specifically for migrating existing codebase to a more manageable one.

midhunsezhion Around the app of the future?

I had this exact idea (literally) and I guess I was thinking too much about how to get that initial set of users way too early and ended up quitting before even finishing the development of the app. This developer is at the stage where he/she should actually work on that now and I wish them all the best! :)

midhunsezhion Amper raises $4M to use AI to write music

need for filling out excel sheets automatically is not greater or lesser than music automation. One field doesn't have to wait for the other to be solved imo.

Also, there are plenty of able workers ready to fill Excel sheet for a very reasonable price but that is not the point here either.
