Starting a coding career in the 90s is way different than starting one now. Everyone knows how to code now and you're competing against a billion h1b visas who will do it for half

My small company tried h1b.  It's a pain in the ass, never again.  There are plenty of people who claim to know how to code, but not enough are any good.  Demand is still high for decent coders (hence the high salaries).
