I am from Hyderabad, India and felt racist reading that title - "IT coolies". I believe the author just want to make headline. A lot of innovation happens that gets unnoticed in Silicon Valley or around the world. People here do not have access to mentorship & peer network so easily (openly available in California), still being self-motivated and connected by reading tech blogs, advises, etc. Just top of my head are following two examples. * Little Eye Labs => Facebook * HackerRank ==> YC

"I am from Hyderabad, India and felt racist reading that title - "IT coolies"." That's why I edit the titles, totally missed the point of innovation from a foreign hacker widely used in SV and around the world. Point proven.

Perhaps OP is just trying to point out that talents aren't just in Silicon Valley. It can also be seen as a counter example against those other articles about how Indian programmers aren't qualify. I don't see it as a negative race baiting whatever but more as the above sentence (goto: sentence above).
