Rapidly iterating one pixel at a time is how we get video. Dead simple and lots of processing is the secret sauce to much of our modern world

In my company we are keeping junior engineers and getting senior engineer level work out of them as they drive the agents. I still have to kick stuff back but I had to do that with senior engineers too

You somehow know the result before looking at the data that experts expect will take months. Have you considered a role in the Trump administration?

I'm sure someone at one point sent a newt into orbit...on purpose even...

This. Humans across virtually every race, religion, and culture have had FEWER CHILDREN once their economy gets to a certain level. We can speculate all day about why but the decline in fertility as a function of economics is simply an observed fact.

And there you are wrong and quite obviously so. I will not even argue that point

Can't argue the point so you'll pretend to be taking some sort of high ground.

Your claim is obviously stupid, and since it's obvious I'll say why. Unlike you, who cannot say why which is why you didn't.

People, ordinary people go between multiple roles in their life while remaining the same person. Within a job people get promoted and may have some management duties, which may well involve deciding pay levels to some extent. Sometimes people strike out on their own and do contracting and start a company at which point they have full control over what they offer subcontractors or employees.

And even for those who do not people still get other jobs done via contractors, like plumbers, electricians etc, at which point they decide they pay levels as much as any business owner.

You like many people are absolutely bending over backwards to reinterpret the results to be what you want.

You know I've been on this thing for almost 30 years and never figured out the "upvoting" and other fancy finctions people often brag about...

You must have missed that "firehose" link that's been at the top for 25 years or so. I wouldn't brag quite so hard about missing it, personally.

Ordinary people do not decide about the pay of others in actual reality.

Yes they do. Management/employers are not some special class of person.

So your reply has nothing do do with the pot it was replying to then. So why reply then?

If I were, perhaps it's because I'm not seeing any of the real stuff here.

If H1B were really about skilled foreigners filling gaps that can't be filled otherwise, their salaries would be high relative to US citizens.

In a free market, your salary is proportional to how hard it is to replace you:

Push buttons like a trained seal? Peanuts.

Know where to place the the thousand dollar chalk mark? Mid six figures easy.

So what do H1Bs at Microsoft make?

If these links

are to be believed, kinda average for a software engineer. Maybe even a little low. Boston area under 160k.

Not the stereotypical monkey pushing a button, but not exactly top flight talent either.

Interesting that you immediately jumped to censorship. Why is that?

The muh freeze peach crowd are about the worst defenders of free speech I've ever met.

Speech is powerful and dangerous, which is why it is important and needs to be free. Pretending otherwise is to diminish it and erase the need for it to be protected.
