Just offering constructive criticism here. These portfolios and home pages look like crap - I would never hire any of you. We do not care who you are and what you do. What can you do for me.

"Of course they want to bring in Indians and Artificial Intelligence. Why would they want to pay a US citizen $100,000 a year or whatever the commensurate salary is for your job."

Looks like HN just pulled this post?
Re:H1B / Offshoring Concerns on Monday January 06, 2025 @12:18PM (#42612584)
This is exactly what I did, proactively. I figured, better I just bite the bullet on my own terms. Saved up money for a year, and made the jump.
Re:H1B / Offshoring Concerns on Monday January 06, 2025 @11:57AM (#42612312)
Reddit post pulled despite a a very healthy debate over a growing issue:

With all the debate over H1Bs, Offshoring is orders of magnitude more damaging.

Of course they want to bring in Indians. Why would they want to pay a US citizen $100,000 a year or whatever the commensurate salary is for your job:

Many of these these companies are US only. If many continue doing this, if this trend continues - it's pretty obvious where this goes.
Re:America Doesn't Got Talent (H1Bs) on Friday January 03, 2025 @08:54PM (#42591573)
Wow! Didn't now that, thanks for sharing. They've exploited this well, even after tons analysis - I'm still stumbling upon new things.
Re:America Doesn't Got Talent (H1Bs) on Friday January 03, 2025 @07:57PM (#42591195)
Everyone's fretting over H1Bs displacing US jobs. H1Bs are not required when they're displacing you via offshoring.

Many are fretting over H1Bs displacing US jobs. Who needs them when theyre already displacing you via outsourcing.
They're not out of touch they know exactly what they're doing, following orders while these centibillionaires are jockeying for position on the Forbes 100.

The strategy was and always will be bottom line: Displacement of American workers through attrition by hiring remote Asian workers -- 1 FTE = 4 Indian workers.

'Most' of these are American companies selling American products and services to Americans. If they like Asia so freaking much, leave the US and go sell your $hitty products and services over there!

The right idea? These companies have no problem outsourcing American jobs -- outside of the US!

RTO my a$$, the strategy was and always will be displacement of American workers through attrition by hiring remote Asian workers -- 1 FTE = 4 Indian workers.

No, the unspoken of motive behind this is to put more money in investor pockets while centibillionaires jokey for position on the Forbes' 100.

This is complete bullshit!

Telco, and I'm sure other industries, are adopting hybrid. Many things core to the business are being yanked out of the cloud.

Just added the BIMI stuff.
Re:A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024 on Tuesday April 02, 2024 @04:50PM (#39910731)
Fixed, thanks! Embarrassing :).
Re:A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024 on Tuesday April 02, 2024 @04:26PM (#39910509)
Valid point, thanks. I debated added a section concerning BIMI :). I'll add something in the next revision.
Re:A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024 on Sunday March 31, 2024 @09:28PM (#39889996)
Removed! Yeah, bad attempt at humor. And certainly not done in support of said candidate.
Re:A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024 on Sunday March 31, 2024 @09:26PM (#39889983)
Very valid point. I just removed my poor attempt at political humor. It was not meant in support of any candidates.
Re:A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024 on Sunday March 31, 2024 @08:28PM (#39889586)
Thank! Will look into this and reconsider.
Re:A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024 on Sunday March 31, 2024 @07:23PM (#39889193)
Agreed, this is the upside for sure. Despite frustrations, I'm hoping this cleans things up.
Re:A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024 on Sunday March 31, 2024 @07:21PM (#39889168)
That sucks! And fixing reputation is at best a nightmare. I've seen suggestions about purchasing / sending email from other domains - to protect your primary domain. Not something I really care to do.
Re:A deep dive into email deliverability in 2024 on Sunday March 31, 2024 @07:16PM (#39889120)
There's some online tools out there, and an OSS project that'll scan DKIM reports for you - but this was all I could find. Beyond this, there's commercial tooling / services. I may implement something that keeps a tab on things if I come across any issues.
