In my last job (small company, probably not unlike the company here) I was involved in interviewing for a junior developer role. Most resumes contained a GitHub link. But what was most fascinating to me was that these GitHub accounts were l

Potentially don't wire them together? That is, isolate them in separate parts of the code. I always found Flask-SQLAlchemy a strange approach because it ties opposite and somewhat orthogonal parts of the request lifecycle together. Whe

I absolutely agree, but would go even further. When you say Xetex "not a solid piece of engineering on which to build the future", I think the same thing also applies to the original Tex engine written by Knuth. By modern software

The sample "Hiring Pipeline" chapter says that auto-rejections from ATS systems are a "myth" and that most/all resumes are screened by a human. Is this really true? I'm suspicious. The next sample chapter even

+1 to this. More generally, I feel that one of the main reasons the Supreme Court is such a powerful body nowadays, and why cases like this are considered so important, is because Congress has become so ineffectual. We have internalized the

You're in a lotta trouble. It happened to a friend of mine and when his H-1B looked like it was going to be denied his FAANG company moved him to an office in Europe.

I received the RFE before I started, the 3 month wait time was just to prepare the RFE, send it, and then wait for USCIS to adjudicate it.

Nearly every lawyer will encourage you to wait for the receipt notice, although interestingly you only need proof that you've submitted a petition to starting working; i.e., a Fedex proof-of-sending receipt.

The title is slightly inaccurate. "Foreigners" do not submit H-1B petitions. Their sponsoring employers do. The fact that the numerical limit was not reached does not mean workers don't want to come to the US. It means that,
