The H1Bs they hire are typically "greenhorns" that write really terrible code.

All too true. OTOH, it makes more jobs for entire QA departments, until that gets offshored too.

All Bill Gates' fault. He taught business to accept unspeakable weak, bug-ridden, unreliable, overpriced, LATE software, and think it was God's gift to mankind.

Full Disclosure: I started on supercomputers and never saw a "blue screen of death" on a Cray ;-)

Cheers!

I started on supercomputers...

Ah, those were the days: Univac 1108, CDC 8600, TI ASC, etc. I never had the pleasure of working on the Cray. You know, it felt good just to be in those computer rooms. Later I did the PDP-8, PDP-11, Nova, etc stuff. I always enjoyed working with them all.
