Look into H1B, the fraud, the resume-harvesting, and the companies that sponsor the majority of them -- here is where you will find your enlightenment.

So is it a case of retards hiring other retards? And how retards drove the great techlords of the past from businesses?

>So is it a case of retards hiring other retards?
Yes. I mean, have you ever dealt with HR?
I've never had the "pleasure" to have H1Bs involved in the hiring process, but one thing that I've heard from those in the IT industry who have is how *VERY* strong the H1B's in-group preference is; to the point some have made successful predictions on the company's profitability [stocks] by considering if H1Bs are employed there to any great degree.

> And how retards drove the great techlords of the past from businesses?
There's also the fact that Affirmative Action cracked things open; then when Boomers realized they could import H1B "PhDs" for less than properly trained American CS the course was set.

My dad had to work with poos at a forgein bank. They keep secrets and cover each other's backs all the time. The Indian nepotism is strong.

I am retard software dev. Can confirm am retard.

What's wrong user? You didn't like the newest release of our bloatware program that uses up 30% more of your computer resources to do the same thing as the last product and moved all the buttons and features to new places while excluding features that make your life easier?

Newer versions become slower amd slower. With same functionality. Wtf? I work in a place that 50k worth of machinery gets offline all the time due to a fucking windows service stalling. This service has to move less than 1 megabyte of data per minute (xml form). Fuck devs and fuck operating systems.

Yeah honestly I'm starting to think it's a conspiracy between big software and big hardware to keep selling shit. There has to be a point where your desktop becomes so exceedingly powerful that it can complete all the tasks you would ever humanly need to do permanently. Yet we keep somehow needing a faster computer and software updates to do the same things we were doing ten years ago.

>muh developers
I'm an IT consultant for an insurance company.
Look faggot, YOU go and try making a 'minor modification' to add a 'small feature' to a 15 years old pile of shit that's been worked on by 30 different contractor companies (always the cheapest of course), with zero documentation, no support from either the client (who doesn't have any in-house developers) nor the other contractors (because they hope you fuck it up and get ousted).

Let's not even talk about the absurd bureaucracy involved in pushing a change to production (it took me 8 days to get a release window to fix a blocking issue that was affecting thousands of customers).

The client asks for changes, they can never put down the EXACT requirements which are always in a state of flux due to them having to be agreed upon by six million different offices across multiple organizations, they cheap out on the testers, and the managers always overpromise and accept deadlines from the marketing department without consulting us first.
When you get to the testing phase and nothing fucking works whatsoever because it's all held together with tears and blood they decide to go into production anyway just so they can say they didn't miss the date.
Then when, as expected, within 3 days you have thousands of insurance policies that are broken to the point of being unrecoverable, people having their cars confiscated because the insurance doesn't show up in the government database (because the batch that's supposed to send the policies over breaks ALL THE TIME and it was a known thing), they go: ''How could this have happened???''


I'd fucking gas them all.

Top-heavy IT companies was a mistake.
Last year I did more (and earned more) with my small rogue team of misfits than the entire European branch of my company. Too many managers, too little flexibility.

Trump should ban H1B visas and force companies hire American developers.

A use-case for Ada, honestly.

Too small a step; he should RICO the H1B companies; given the prevalence of H1B fraud, as evidenced by "5-years experience required" job-postings for Entry level positions.

Yeah, the bureaucracy issue is really abhorrent and it creates an environment in which people who want to get things done are constrained, while people who don't actually DO anything useful can easily slip through the cracks and pretend they're working when they're not.

This doesn't just happen with the insurance's own stuff (I routinely have to coordinate the various sub-organizations and get them to do shit even though as a contractor it shouldn't be my job), it happens within my own company as well.
We're a medium sized (200 people) company, and you wouldn't believe how many USELESS people hide amongst the others.
On average I'd say there's at least two completely useless and 1 barely acceptable people for every 2 who can actually do their job properly.

Our team is a small happy island because we get rid of unproductive people, but every time I have to work with one of the other teams it's like playing russian roulette.

>Ada
They still use JBOSS 6 and won't upgrade it for unknown reasons.
Most of their applications run on Struts 1.
We wrote a new application which just went into production and they had us make it with JSF2 because they think Angular is "not proven enough".
And you're talking about Ada? Kek.

The simple fix would be to STOP hiring 16 gorillion contractors at the same time and just do as their banking branch does, and assign every application to ONE contractor who is in charge of it and does everything.
The issue is that the system is so badly designed that even though they have close to 100 supposedly independent applications, they are so rigidly coupled that changes to a signle one can cause cascade failures in 20 or 30 of the others.

Honestly the entire system should be scrapped and rewritten from scratch - by someone who knows what they're doing.

>The harm they do by their shitty programs is trillions of dollars
Hahaha no. Nothing will ever come close to comparing to the magnatude of money tech has generated.
>23
>top tier software company
>6 figure salary
You're a jealous little faggot arent you? I cant wait to automate your shitty forklift 'trade'

You're not gonna automate shit working on whatever lame ass front end framework you're working on...fuck off.

> ...you wouldn't believe how many USELESS people...

Its the same where I work and its odd that all the useless fucks are the "brochure employees" if you catch my drift...worthless tokens that don't contribute...

Sorry you're stuck in a shitty dev job desu

The sooner you realize that software development is art and not science is the sooner you realize that you can't just hire any geek off the street.

No "methodology" works because even the same team doesn't create the same software twice. It's not repeatable.

I am software dev. My manager is from India, cool guy actually. I have a lot of respect for him. I think the department would fall apart without him. Oh yes, I am retarded software dev, confirmed as well.

>No "methodology" works because even the same team doesn't create the same software twice. It's not repeatable.
This
No two applications that we make are the same, even if they do very similar things.
