I dislike how they've started to promote some weird cryptocurrency. It's never a good sign.

It literally is.

I'm sure there are many cases where tech companies just cannot find local talent, but it wouldn't surprise me if the H-1B provision is also misused to get less expensive labor. This could ultimately make it less attractive for locals to get into the field at all, since they cannot compete on salary. It also contributes to brain drain from developing countries. Personally I'm not going to shed a tear for Amazon in this case.

They plan to rewrite it in Swift, which may or may not help.
