These reddit-like feelgood threads have, IN MY OPINION, very little to do with HN, hackers, programming and whatever. Moreover, they feel very US centric. Off to a downvote shower ciao
-I was laid off ~60 days back. Being on H1B( I'm an indian, who attended school here and been living here since last 10 years) means either I gotta get a job in 2 months or pack my bag.

Great, it really sucks that people on work visas can basically be threatened with deportations by their employers like this because of all the ways unemployment can go wrong. Good look with the new job :)

I'm thankful for stumbling into a career that has allowed me to make a comfortable living without dealing with the BS of bosses and commuting and wearing stuffy suits.
