Re: Indian coding and support
This kind of perceived technical superiority...
It's not misplaced superiority, but weary irritation. Every big bank I know of who's outsourced development to the Indian code-shops has needed to create a (very expensive) team, often made up with some of the people whose elimination was supposed to be part of the cost saving, to 'review' (i.e. hack until it compiles) the fruits of our Indian consultancies. Until you've seen it, you might not believe just how bad the output is, and how little theses people know or want to learn.
In the same way that if you're a good financier, why would you work for the Inland Revenue; if you're a good developer, you'd never ever work for a code shop.
