I find it hard to believe that the US would be on the easier side. There's no direct path from H-1B to Green card, for example. But if you pick Belgium or France, you can get citizenship after 5 years of legal residence. Germany has a

Well, I can keep going. One possible definition of culture is "stories that we have in common". Ukraine has its own literature (in the Ukrainian language, but not only), its own music, its own religious cult (Kyivan Patriarchate,

It shouldn't. The fact that it recommended Clean Code goes to show it's literally aggregating a bunch of books that are commonly recommended. Clean Code is really not the way you want people writing code, especially judging by the
