I've worked with outsourced Indian programmers before. THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION OF THE EXTREME CRAPPINESS OF THEIR CODE! What's worse, their English is horrible, punctuation all fucked up, and they understand NOTHING of our culture. I personally taught myself XSLT in a few weeks, then taught it to a team of Indians. After 6 months of constantly rewriting their code just to move things along, they were finally canned.
This is the usual experience for companies who outsource programming.
@Christobanistan Yep, and that's because the guys who work at outsourcing companies are in no way "programmers". That's not because they're Indian (I'm Indian), it's just because they're incompetent nincompoops. Some of us are actually better (hint: not the ones at the outsourcing companies)
@aviraldg Yes, that's what I've heard. I've actually worked closely with lots of Indian programmers who live here in the U.S. They are extremely competent, though I have to say it seems to me the Indian higher educational system needs to put more emphasis on fundamentals like computer architecture, assembly language, and OS design.
If that's a true story, then the team who committed their 'corrections' under another account was pretty stupid, and practically brought their fate upon themselves.
what two asshats gave this video a thumbs down?
