Most of them maybe, but the really good ones are not that. Computing science has very little to do with programming.
I don't know the ins and outs of H1B, but don't they usually require a master degree?
I'm a little curious, why you bring up the link to systemd? Is it because it prevents the stack from running on BSD?
