       | Wow! CACM always wanted to be a bridge between the computer
       | science profession and professional developers. There were a lot
       | of things that got in the way, not least the paywall. Now that
       | that's gone the door is open to CACM Practice.

           | I don't think it was ever that successful. I can say years
           | back I decided not to renew my ACM subscription because of a
           | lot of little things like a really clueless Vint Cerf article
           | and their unrelenting promotion of H-1B visas. I switched to
           | the IEEE Computer Society because they were agnostic on the
           | H-1B which was a position I could accept.
           | 
           | I've worked side-by-side with H1Bs and I can say the I
           | probably felt the worst I ever felt when I wanted to tell a
           | guy who was being abused by management that "your skills are
           | really in demand you can go across the street and get a
           | better job" but I couldn't because that wasn't true. I can
           | accept giving out more green cards or some other programs but
           | there is so much wrong with H-1B that if you are sticking up
           | for computing practitioners I think it's a problem to be
           | enthusiastic.

           | section encourages submissions from outside academia.
