There are many problems with PG's arguments.
1. It's painfully obvious that he doesn't talk anybody in the trench.
2. If H1B Visas used the way it was intended, there would be no issue with finding those great talents. Instead, H1B Visas are used my large consultancies and corporations for tapping cheap labors.
3. There are strong programming talents in Western and Eastern Europe, but they are not knocking down embassies to come to the U.S. despite much better job prospects and higher pay. Because quality of life is inferior.
4. You don't need a company full of 'great programmers'.
