Of course, he must’ve gotten a sense of accomplishment from this.

When I contribute to an open source project I get the same feeling too. I can even brag about it during interviews. But, It’s not why I do it. I learnt a lot from open source projects and I am just paying it forward. What I got from these projects is more than what I am able to contribute to.

But, Life is not a zero-sum game. We don’t have to do things in exact proportions. That would make it a business transaction. Bob Ross definitely gave a lot to his viewers. In my eyes, that makes him a hero.

The reason they want more H1B visas is to drive down the wages. People like Musk and Trump, in addition to high cost of living is why I didn’t apply for H1B, even though US simply has more opportunities for someone like me than anywhere else in the world. But there is no point in having a job, if the wage is insufficient.

More H1B visas might be beneficial to people like me, but in the long run it could be hurt everyone except business execs.

Repeat after me: healthcare should not be profit driven…
