Originally posted by Kepler View PostI have heard this from every developer and software manager I have ever talked with. We judge Indian/Pakistani STEM by the people who come here. But those people are the .01% left tail. The millions (literally) who toil back home are doing meatball surgery.

I have had decent BA interactions with Indians who move here and have stayed for more than 5 years. It seems to me like they come here with a very rigid mindset of sticking to the rules, but then learn to become more creative once they're here. The thought has crossed my mind, though I'm not sure how much stock I put into it, that it's an extension of growing up in a caste system and later being freed from it."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Re: Business, Economics, and Tax Policy 8: Bezos Takes Over the World
Not that I'd EVER pile on mookie but same issue here. Company had to insource tech support because it was a disaster overseas. All the good people have already left Bangladore so you're left with the dregs over there.
At a previous employer about 15 years ago somebody got the bright idea to outsource tech support and they flew over a bunch of people from India. They put them up all expenses paid for a couple of months and trained them on our systems, after which they went home and...promptly found other jobs! As US trained employees, they were in demand and they can chase a buck just as well as Americans.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

(T)he institution of a leisure class acts to make the lower class conservative by withdrawing from them as much as it may of the means of sustenance, and so reducing their consumption, and consequently their available energy, to such a point as to make them incapable of the effort required for the learning and adoption of new habits of thought. -- The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899)Cornell University

Originally posted by St. Clown View PostDuring my 12 or so years of working with developers, Indian developers who come here are competent, very few of them have the talent to rise to a team leadership position within the tech departments I have experience. So far, only one has done so and he might be the best developer I've ever met. The developers we work with who are based in India, they mostly lack the dynamic thought process to turn in good code without a lot of BA support.
