> But ya, we don’t need to import someone doing JavaScript over to America anymore (which, believe it or not, is what I’ve witnessed). There’s no rhyme or reason to it, we have a solid home grown talent pool for that.
Being able to program language X isn't really the marketable skillset at the high level. You don't hire good javascript programmers. You hire good programmers
You know other countries also have multi million dollar companies too. At scale, I don’t ever see them importing American talent because ‘no one else can do it in our country’. It’s just pure bullshit, there’s 300+ million people across a lot of these countries. At scale, the talent is there, in every country.
Unfortunately I think there are a lot of people who know the technology to some limited degree to do some tasks, but indeed cannot really program. They do testing or something, running scripts and needing a lot of supervision.
