I was given a team of 3 H1B developers when I was a manager at Oracle. This was about 12 years ago.
None of them understood even the simplest basics of web development using HTML, CSS or JavaScript. Without this modicum of basic knowledge, they had no hope of understanding development using JavaScript frameworks such as Knockout, or CSS libraries, etc. Using ADF or JDeveloper to write production Java code? Ha! No chance!
Experienced devs on the team had to build examples showing the new guys how to write code that most people could learn by simply watching YouTube, or reading articles online. Additionally, these guys refused to buy O’Reilly technical books either. This was because the company wouldn’t always reimburse them.
These guys hurt our productivity and did not help the bottom line. They hurt our investors as a result. They should not have been hired because they couldn’t satisfy their role requirements.
Rather than hiring three inexperienced H1B ’s straight out of college, we could could’ve hired 1 unemployed 40 or 50 yo developer and gotten twice the output.
So the answer is: No we do not need the H1B program. We never did. The H1B program has outlived its usefulness.
I’m confused as to why you as an h1b keep posting negative posts about H1b’s.
@ef <---- Are you a believer on kool-aid, or are you a robot asking if humans are needed?
Are any of you required with AI?
Corporations asking for H1Bs is the evidence that humans are needed and AI isn't what the grifter billionaires want us to believe.
Thank you for once again proving that your demographic is severely racist...and racist against one demographic in particular.
It's actually amusing to see how much Caucasians, just by merely existing in natural excellence, truly get under your skin.
Your twisted and lacking birdbrains just seethe with frustrated wannabe envy.
Are ALL employees really needed now that AI is available?
Please give Oracle more reasons to take all of our jobs. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
