Legacy networking gear might have faced, back in the days, a chronic lack of tools when confronted with performance and/or stability issues. And most of tools/solutions developed were as a direct result of the push from the industry for concrete solutions that instrument the problem methodically. May be the challenges faced by SDN/NFV can similarly be classified as growing pains and the times may present a tangible solution to address the problems you've discussed.

I did something very similar and approached the hiring manager to show him what I've done. While he appreciated my work, he wanted me to work (for free) on the company's Github stuff and said he will call me if that something opens up. PS: I am okay spending my free time on his cool project but it progressively looks unsustainable.

This is my 10th year of employment in Bay area and by any reasonable estimates, I am not laying eyes on my Green Card for another half a decade. And no, i am not in the "slow lane". Makes me wonder if employers are lobbying Washington hard for things to be this complicated.

"In the United States, we usually don’t autopsy people unless the cause of death is mysterious or foul play is suspected."

In any case, health insurance doesn't cover autopsy. Turns out its classified as postmortem to deny insurance coverage. there was an hour long special on NPR sometime in 2014.

The Center for Investigative Reporting did approach me since i am victim of this scam too. I chose to settle out of court sheer out of fear and lack of ideas. As per settlement terms, i am not supposed to talk about this entire episode to anyone ever. But i am still talking here on HN. Back in 2008 I paid $330/hour (10 hours in advance as a retainer) to an attorney to file a response to the legal notice i received. I also paid other damages to my employer totaling $7500. I was literally forced to sign the "binding agreement" which was part of my joining formality after i landed in SF. Had i seen this doc earlier while still in India, chances are i wouldn't have taken that flight. I spent almost a month without pay, medical insurance (in spite of working for the client) but ultimately blinked and signed that document. Its evil. And this ritual is here to stay until the feds really are interested in solving this problem.
