How hard is it to convert H1B to O1? At this point I gotta imagine it's easier to just do this for well paid H1Bs no ?

He charges people money for a newsletter that reinforces completely detached from reality viewpoints. If he's just making stuff up, that's called grifting, and it's good people call that out.

non profit hospitals are the norm. Many insurance companies have capped profits. but the profits are capped as a percentage of revenue. So... Hmm...

I've worked at Verizon and Google, and they were much more interested in having quarter or bi-yearly shipping goals and really didn't give a fuck how the teams hit that goal. Managers may or may not run daily or weekly 'check

Yes, but not at big companies. SCRUM and Sprints are useful when you're a consultant and the client doesn't actually know what they want to build. When you're working at a software company, it's a red flag if product c
