Had a consultant developer once who named his functions like doMagic() & doStuff()

A legitimately very talented developer that I worked with showed me some of his first code at the company that contained `function post_document_load_do_shit` and `var turd`

More of a young male thing than anything to do with ability.

I do this if it's not production code. It's memorable, and it's even semantic in some cases.

I didn't know Devise was such a polarizing thing in the ruby community

> When a capable person on your team wants a role bigger than her past experience, do you give her a shot or do you simply hire someone with more experience?

This spoke to me the most as I've seen this happen at multiple places. lack of growth seems to be the most common reasons for employees leaving (apart from stagnating salaries) and that's something a company can easily invest in

Also identifying customers

Thank you, included!

I was impressed with how marketers are hacking emails to get the most out of them. personally I would love some of this ingenuity in my inbox.

yes. I'd have liked to see what exactly failed that got him so riled up

Interesting to see University of Michigan in there. wonder what's the impetus there.

University employed H-1Bs are exempt from the cap. It is a loop hole that is becoming more common where private companies set up partnerships with universities to employ H-1Bs on their behalf in order to skirt the cap.

The company sponsors a position at the university, the employee does work for the company, the university takes a percentage.

oh my. That's interesting. The jobs I see are:

Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists(274); Biochemists and Biophysicists(187); Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary(100); Biological Technicians(60); Molecular And Cellular Biologists(59);

Yup, the thing that is even MORE interesting is that these positions can be classified as more relating to research which has much lower wage requirements. So the employee may be writing software for your business but she is paid like an academic researcher.

Some of them are doing it out in the open[0]

Some companies use Universities to hire foreign Software engineer with the title of "Research Associate", lower wage, same job. Then claiming that they are recruiting the best in the world while providing a very low wage (research associate prevailing wage instead of SE). It can get worse, I have a friend that has been under a J1 for years, while he is not a student anymore. The company pays a student salary (2k/month) instead of a H1B prevailing wage.

Based on my knowledge of some folks in research science, I'd wager a guess that they don't want to hire US Citizens because they are more expensive, even if they got their degree from the same institution hiring H1Bs. It's...a twisted situation from my experience.

recently encountered the same annoyance. had to fork a repo, and then do a replace-all on all references of import to the new path
