“They are giving away engineering degrees with 3 cereal box tops there, it seems.”
A requirement for H-1B outsourcers is a BS degree minimum. In India they are regularly sold to anyone with the money to buy it.
Then they come to America and work for 1/2 of US wages and nobody dare challenge their competence for fear of a discrimination suit.
And not all competent programmers have a CS degree, or ANY degree.
Most good programmers are self taught.
As are most of the excellent Systems and Network Engineers.
In “modern” development, they move more and more to the front end/web server in the name of efficiency... but over time, I have noticed that it takes longer and longer to do anything... both to code it and for it to run.
Amazing how the word efficiency doesn’t seem to mean what I think it means :)
That and you still can’t understand a word they say on the phone even though the majority of the time their name is Mike. LoL
Is that just a figure of speech or you really that old? (or were you her 'boy toy'?)

My brother in law is an American born doctor and I asked him about foreign doctors and he said:
Western European-fine.
Eastern European-for the most part fine.
Israeli-fine.
Indian/Pakistani/Middle-eastern you pay your money, you take your chances.
Japan-fine.
Rest of Asia-see middle eastern description.
Great response.
The left rants about ‘sexism’ and ‘female stereotypes’, yet most of women portrayed by Hollywood reinforce exactly that.
Why no good heroine drama about Adm. Hopper? What a story of her life’s work!
Same questions for Blacks as portrayed by Hollywood. Where is the compelling movie about the work of George Washington Carver?
(Getting back to the original Thread, while I once held the job title of “Software Programmer”, I, too, would probably fall within the ‘95% ... unfit for software development jobs’. I do know that I’ve worked with Indian software developers who were as good as 95% of the American software developers I knew.)
I think they now have jobs offering to remove viruses from my Internet Computer.

"Hidden Figures" was pretty good.
