Your fellow students are here to help...

...no we're not.

We're here to learn skills that will improve our position in the global marketplace and what we need is less competition. If giving you bad advice slows you down or causes you to quit altogether then that's what we'll do.

It looks like Mike may be saying he wants to give bad advice to thin out the herd when it's time to seek out new positions.

..and for understanding Mike's fairly "Darwin-ian" intentions ("survival of the fittest"),

Matt gets a free rare first edition signed copy of "Origin of the Species" as well as

a complete set of Darwin's field notebooks for his travels aboard the HMS Beagle.

The value of such a complete set of Darwin's field notebooks being of incalculable value

since it doesn't currently exist (and most likely has lost to history):

My own feeling is that bad (or incomplete) info creeps into every programming forum

because the people contributing to such threads are just learning themselves.

Sorry it that destroys (or undercuts) Mike's notions..

And special note to Mike:

Please be glad there is not a Chinese language version or a version for some language in India.

.

If you want to truly discourage the competition then those forums really would be the ones to target bad information.

Because in this day and age you don't need live in the United States

(or even have an H1-B visa to come to work in the United States)

when working on remote web development projects

---which tend to not be restricted by the lines on a map representing nation-states boundaries

and draw their "worker pool" from a larger global community.
