Yes, that’s the key, sending millions of current and past H1B workers home. Sadly, Trump says he’s going to sustain the program and increase their numbers. Maybe he will find it appropriate to change his mind of people speak up.
“Sadly, Trump says he’s going to sustain the program and increase their numbers.”
Didn’t he walk that back? Or was it just the part about giving every college graduate a green card automatically?
Just the green cards.
Both my daughters lost their jobs last year. One is going to teach AP Computer science. The other is thinking of going back to college for some kind of health degree.
It sucks!
Not to mention that AI can, allegedly, “learn to code.”
Learn to dig!
I’m sick and tired of all the software updates and so-called improvements.
They’ve just kloodged up what used to work well with annoying bells and whistles.
It’s just about time. 50 years ago coding was something for post graduate study. Today, grade school kids might go to coding camp.
I remember 30+ years ago telling a secretary/admin type that her job was disappearing soon owing to common office automation. The good ones learned network administration, spreadsheets, databases or whatever. Typing and shorthand have their ever-shrinking place. It was about the same time that the first teasers of codeless programming were emerging.

“Learn to code” — Joe Biden’s advice to coal miners who would lose their jobs under his proposals, as he ran for President December 30, 2019.
I was going to hire a computer programmer and tech him about business but I decided to hire a high school grad who knows how to use chatgpt instead.
Learn to plumb.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those that understand binary and those that don’t.
“Since we have 500,000+ IT workers in the US looking for work...when will the H-1bs be going home?”
Hopefully soon. I refuse to run software projects where we utilize H1B developers. Time and time again it is because of H1B developers which lead to project overruns.

“I started out on IBM 360/30 in the basement of the Empire State building and it was good while it lasted kids. Now AI can build the code on it’s own.”
Back in the 80’s, I went to NYU where I learned to code COBOL, BAL360 and JCL. Now I am just waiting for the opportunity to put myself into a cryogenic state so I can be defrosted for Y3K.
RE: learn to code
That’s the problem, MOST coding can be done by artificial intelligence. You gotta go BEYOND coding.
Easy fix: END the H1B program, end admission of foreign tech students to our universities, and end “off-shoring “ of US software jobs to overseas outfits.
AI cannot write programs.
It can plagiarize non-functional snippets obtained from The Code Project or Stack Overflow. If you need to look up some obscure programming language feature, the AI processor can find it for you very quickly, and fairly accurately. You really need to know what you are doing to use that stuff.
All large organizations accumulate people who don't do anything useful and whose jobs are no longer necessary.
"AI" makes a perfect excuse for the forthcoming layoffs as it gets the executives off the hook for the blame, and less likely to meet a grievance committee in the parking lot after work.
Maybe ten recruiters, but all for the same two jobs - which have been posted for the last three months.
There are more recruiters than jobs available.
Sort of like real estate agents and number of houses for sale.
