lol. If you don't change your data rules, we'll shoot ourselves in the foot by removing the cheap labor that we've become addicted to.

- jimmaswell 7y agoIt would be a good thing in the long term. Too many programming jobs are taken up by things like this, especially jobs for fresh college grads. I wouldn't mind harsh limitations on all software offshoring/worker importing in general.
- addicted 7y agoRight, because college grads in STEM fields are just really struggling to get good high paying jobs right now.

- jimmaswell 7y agoTook me a while to get an offer out of college even with an internship of experience, years of volunteer coding contributions, etc. And got some absurd offers in the range of 30k before finding a real one.
- kelnos 7y agoThere are no (talented) fresh college grads who are having trouble finding programming jobs. The whole "they took our jobs" fallacy is just that: a fallacy.
- jimmaswell 7y agoLook for some of the negative posts from posters on the cscareerquestions subreddit. This is an attitude of someone either living in Silicon Valley or just repeating what they've heard. Edit: Here's two people, OP and the comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/bpj0m2/i_cant_find_a_cs_job_after_almost_a_year_of/enux8ax/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/bpj0m2/i... Getting hired as a new grad is hell - it's impossible to make a resume any two people can agree is presentable enough, 1/500 postings respond to you, the employment gap out of college grows and grows, and student loan repayments loom around the corner, making you wonder if you'll have to get some McDonalds job just to pay them once they enter repayment.
