Id like to contribute to the netflix code base by offering what is obviously a missing but much needed piece of code: def enableAutoPlay( flag ): annoyingAutoPlay = flag return

Afaik you can disable autoplay in the options?

> but I'm not ready to relocate to the US Even if you wanted to, it's nearly impossible to immigrate to the US as a skilled worker legally . I have a friend who is an really talented programmer (and a really diligent worker) who studied Computer Science at some of the best universities in Europe: École Centrale Paris and the EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland. One of his biggest desires fo…
You forgot other loopholes: 1. Get F1-visa and do MS. 2. Marry a US citizen 3. use a J1 visa?

If you're European from a "good" country it's pretty easy to get an H1-B with a master / eng degree to work for a SV company.
Your country of citizenship or birth plays zero role in terms of getting an H-1B visa. It neither helps nor hurts. And it's certainly not "pretty easy" to get an H-1B in any sense. For example, right now, if you wanted to work in the U.S. the earliest date you could start working would be October 1, 2020 . (That's because this year's lottery is already over, you'll have to try your shot with the April 2020 lottery, a…

If you don't what they do is they ask you to work for them elsewhere for 1 year ( London / Switzerland ) then move you back to the US with an L1 visa.
Do you know what the Netflix culture is regarding remote work ? I've been looking for a job for the first time in 10 years of Python, and Netflix is one of the rare big companies that I still have respect for. https://jobs.netflix.com/ has several offers I would be a good fit for, but I'm not ready to relocate to the US.
As someone who has worked on fully remote game dev volunteer projects for nearly 10 years, it's unbelievable how much the cultural inertia of physical presence has prevented companies from making the rational move of eliminating all possible office space in favor of remote work and skype meetings. So much money wasted on rent, security, and upkeep and so much time (and even lives) lost to commuting when there isn't a…
I fail to understand the use of python in a distributed environment while the language has such poor concurrency support (on top of the lack of a type system). You can make your application HA, but they are obviously not trying to squeeze out every CPU cycle.
Because it's a distributed environment probably is exactly why. Python has (arguably) great concurrency support apart from Multi-threading.

So if you need concurrency in the context of a single thread, then Python's GIL is a non-starter. But a distributed environment is not likely one of those.
Edit: I should amend concurrency in a single thread to: concurrency in a single thread that is compute gated...since coroutines can give you pseudo concurrency in a single thread provided you're workload has blocking steps like IO or TCP calls.

Why would you resist it?
It would be nice if the language was typed. Easier for overall maintenance, and refactoring for big projects.
I've used Python a fair bit for a variety of semi-permanent or long scripts. I would have liked types more as well. Discovered MyPy after those instances.
