Government isn't being xenophobic. I mean there are Canadians from every country. But hiring someone in Canada keeps the money within the Canadian economy which I think is what governments should be doing. If they find some Indian guy who wants to come to Canada bring him to Canada let him do the job there let him become part of community. However if that money goes to some Indian guy in India how is it benefiting Canada?

Why doesn't Canada put a rule saying all work must be done by Canadians. Even if its cheaper keeping the money in country seems better than sending it to India.

I think a lot SWE in India might not even like writing Software. It mainly provides a way to get out of the country or at least make a decent living. A lot of these Outsourcing companies will hire pretty much any College grad and just teach them how to program.

Because there are a lot of developers they can chose from. Also its a young mans game. We have a new version of React or some random new framework every few months. I guess experience is not valued in this industry.

67% of black kids have a single parent so if you randomly picked a black person they would likely have been raised by a single parent home. He states that he came from a dual parent household from the suburbs. So he isn't an average black person just from statistical point of view. He got really lucky. I think if you give black kids two parents some money and a good school they would probably do as well as everyone else.

If you want to have performance why use a 90k Javascript library?

Because we live in a first world country. Taxes pay for that. That include hotel and taxi taxes.

Probably going to get down voted for this, but why not just use ssh or putty and use Vim. You can use any crappy old laptop.

Too many of you are too young to remember the 2000s, but I hope you don't believe this supply demand stuff. Its being propped up by VC money, but when it swings to the other side its going to be a slaughter for a lot of developers. In a team of 10 there might be 2 or 3 people who really matter.

You want to stop people from working too hard because they want to get ahead? This is like un-american.

I am surprised cell phones are still selling for 650 bucks. You can get a Chinese cell phone for 200 dollars which will do 90% of what latest apple or Samsung will do. Maybe it will be a little bit slower, but not 450 dollars slower.

If you are over 30 you might be too old to get a job in the valley.

It seems like everyone forgot what happen after 2000. I hope you are saving your money.

You can't raise a family in india? Once you get used to that 150k salary you ain't going back. Pretty much all my cousins and stuff are trying to get out of the country.

I am not going to blame you are anyone else trying to make it, but I find it quite hypocritical that Indian publications glorify people who have pretty much left the country for good.

A lot of indians who come to this country never want to go back to india. They seem to kind of hate their country. So the fact Indians are celebrating someone who made it out is quite ironic.

The op is being Mr trump. He is like screw those other Indians from coming in. I think everyone should have a shot.

I wish I could take a whole year off of work. I think SV lives in its own bubble.
