The H-1B program allows companies and other employers in the United States to temporarily employ cheap foreign workers in occupations that require highly specialized knowledge. Many businesses outsource work to other countries for additional cost savings. Companies rely heavily on automated testing to mitigate the downside of hiring less skilled developers. You have worse UX but they spend less money. What can you do.
- Kaze404 5y agoWhat about being from a country that's not the United States makes a developer less skilled?
- bobsterman 5y agoIt's not that they arent skilled, they just don't have the incentive to demonstrate them.

- delnabla 5y agoAre you implying that immigrants or devs working remote from other countries are less competent? If so, consider how much additional hurdles those guys had to overcome in order to find a job in the US.
