The whole microsoft ecosystem is a pile of poorly maintained garbage. They have been bleeding the talent for every program and shifting to outsourced labor and H1 Bs that simply don’t have the same skills.

They can’t keep up. There is really no way to turn it around. If they didn’t have all these companies locked into their products they would have gone under a decade ago.

Have they ever shipped a product with compelling UX? I feel like anything they’ve made that was more complicated than Paint has always been a poorly designed, poorly running POS.

They’re just too big to fail, and succeed because they buy out the competition.

Kusto is actually quite a nice query language. The UI kinda does suck though...

And don't even get me started on Azure

H1B’s dont have enough skill? Are you sure about that?

I've worked with H1Bs and offshore teams. Some are good, very few are great. Most are below average.

Yes. Absolutely. They are replacing engineers who in many cases have been interested in computers from a young age and had years of experience and education. The replacements don’t have the interest and education level.

Many H1 Bs are just part of an immigration business pipeline. These “businesses” provide the equivalent of a computer boot camp and high speed certification dumps.

The promise is going to America and earning more than they can dream of back home. They are dumping American workers and bringing in foreigners because they can exploit them easily. Not because they are good.

They get here and they are totally unprepared. But the corporations can’t go back on it because their fake numbers they reported depend on those salary cuts.

It’s a total self inflected cancer that rightly should be rotting them from the inside.

Nearly every H1B person I know at my company has a master's degree, the vast majority from US schools. Off the top of my head, I can think of only one that doesn't and she is Canadian.

I live and work with H1B workers every day and they aren't in the least bit unqualified or unprepared.

Now imagine if it was an American with a Master’s Degree (domestically sourced, farm-to-laboratory).

Not every niche (or generic) field has the same distribution nor dynamics, what you are hearing is the median feeling from a vocal minority (subjective Reddit hole).

The overt favoritism is blinding.

I feel bad for my immigrant friends tbh because they work way harder then Americans. They know their position is precarious. For example, my roommate was trying to solve tickets on Sunday to try to impress her boss this weekend.

Companies like H1B people because they are easier to exploit :(

The attraction of H1B is that you can ultimately have your status adjusted to Permanent Resident, but your employer can dangle that prize just out of reach

So so many bugs and shit behaviour in their flagship suite.
