Until and unless entire management structures become distributed, there will be a primary center of the project's decision makers and stakeholders in one prime location, and being there will be seen as a requirement. But more of the workers will still be seen as 'remote-able' as time goes on.

At the point where i give them an educated guess and even explained that it was just that (because i felt no shame in getting it wrong since it was so bad a question), they will say 'oh, so you're not very familiar with X then?'
The fact that they seem frustrated to think of more questions and seem relieved when you finally get it wrong also gives it away.

null | U234567890 | null | Using SQLite has worked remarkably well for my application. The data file is about 400Mb with about 1.5 million records.
Things I like about SQLite:
* I can inspect and modify the data using the sqlite utility, so I don't need to write separate inspection tools for debugging my application.
* When wrong values are stored in the database due to bugs, I can just fix the data using the sqlite utility.
* SQLite has real transactions, so when there is an exception thrown during a complex update operation, the whole transaction is just rolled back. This is great with maintaining data consistency without having to worry too much about it.
* It has foreign keys and constraints, which make sure that the correct data is put into the database. Again, a great feature guarding against a bug in the application corrupting the data.

Since I'm already on a comfortable salary in Australia, there are a whole range of things that outrank financial incentives in my book that would inform my decision to live in the US, or elsewhere.
Probably most significantly.. and I really don't want to start a shitfight about politics.. but the lack of freedom (only 2 parties and FPTP) is absolutely a dealbreaker if I'm going to be a citizen. I'll happily trade half my salary for that straight up.

null | scottlawson | null | When you see a doctor, you don't assume that just because they are a doctor then they must be a *good* doctor. After all, everyone knows there are good, bad, and average doctors. However, you can generally assume the following (there are always exceptions):
* Four-year undergraduate degree
* Four years of medical school
* 3-7 of medical residency training
When you are sick and just need to see the next available doctor, you don't need to worry about whether that person is actually medically trained, whether they ever went to medical school, or whether they practice medicine in accordance with the principles of modern science. The fact that "doctor" is a protected title has a lot to do with building public trust.
Does "doctor" being a protected title personally benefit doctors (e.g. higher income)? Yes.
Does "doctor" being a protected title have benefits for the public at large? Yes.
This is the same rationale you will hear from professional engineering associations. Regular people interact with doctors, but businesses interact with engineers. There are benefits to not having to worry about whether someone was actually trained as an engineer, whether they have legal liability, or whether they have a legal obligation to act as a fiduciary (in certain jurisdictions). This is especially true in civil engineering, but is more controversial in other fields such as software engineering.
Does "engineer" being a protected title personally benefit engineers? Yes.
Does "engineer" being a protected title have benefits for the public at large? Yes.
I'm not saying you should necessarily agree with this, but I would encourage you to adopt a more moderate stance on the issue.

null | mgkimsal | null | > Good, we have way too many programmers/IT workers/developers that are either unemployed, underemployed, or underpaid.
There are a handful of experienced developers I know of who are having some trouble finding work, and it's primarily related to where they live and, in some cases, some family burdens they have to carry. This is, maybe, 20% of the folks I know who are both "developers" and "looking for work".
The rest of them... are mid-career wordpress/cms operators who struggle to do any degree of custom work, such as setting up local dev environments, installing software and tools from scratch, documenting requirements, or talking to stakeholders about ... anything, really. Many of them should not be in the field they're in in the first place, and will likely have trouble getting any tech-related employment.
Assuming an h1b recipient coming here is 'highly skilled', they're not taking away the jobs of many of the un/under-employed "developers" we have right now. That may be a bad assumption, as... years ago... I worked with nice-but-not-overly-skilled immigrants on temp work visas (not specifically h1b) and ... they were basically trapped, and did, to some degree, help keep wages down in that company. | null | 0 | 1491274816 | False | 0 | dfstudl | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfsk9qn | null | 1493776520 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

We start senior devs at 175k/year, and it goes up to 225k before you have start managing people/running a a team.
Entry level starts at 70k, like right out of college or high school, don't matter if you can pass the test. Thats with 2 weeks paid vacation, matching 401k, stock purchase program, and more. Since its under 100k its hourly. So, you work more than 40 hours, you get paid for more than 40 hours. However, we're go look at the classes you took and ask questions you should know, maybe push you a little, and we're going to make sure your the right fit before allowing you access to the IP of the entire company.
