Because it's revenue. If I spend $10 to acquire a customer worth $50 in revenue, my revenue is $50. If I spend $150 to acquire a customer worth $100 in revenue, my revenue is $100. In the second situation I have twice as much revenue.

I can agree with you that some of uses of it get out of hand. Like most things, there is a balance. For the most part I don't use hooks, precisely because they muddy the waters of my expected end state. Upgrades that get in bad states,

I 100% see the point you are trying to make. However Kubernetes does have a lot to offer, especially with the easy of hosted Kubernetes solutions these days. Helm makes installing tools and dependencies you may need almost trivial. One of t

I know that. I'm not saying they don't. OP at the top of this thread suggested that it effectively should , by just giving H1-Bs to the 80k jobs per year that would pay the most. I am disagreeing with that statement.

1. Definitely agree with that. Even if you keep the same H1-B term (7 years), you now have an EAD (Employment Authorization Document) for those 7 years. 2. I strongly disagree with this one. The end result will be accredited US institutio
