The H-1B program is a joke. I&#x27;ve witnessed hundreds of people at a single firm who wholesale replaced the existing workforce.<p>Some were qualified but most weren&#x27;t. Most had no experience and required training.<p>The management of that firm told people point blank that there was no future for developers, and to consider other careers. So when I hear that it&#x27;s difficult to find qualified resources I consider how many have moved on or ruled out technology altogether because of experiences like that.<p>We&#x27;ve created our own problem by looking the other way when firms abused the program.
