The problem with those Eastern European developers is not that they are bad developers - they are pretty good value for money in and of themselves. The problem is that they are wrapped up in the structures that are killing German automotive software. They are probably the ones that get hired to implement the crap that architects made up and that """only""" needs implementation, no questions asked. Just write the code.
Good software development just isn't structured like that at all.
- jeena 8y agoI can second that.
- iamctobitch2 8y agoGerman companies have been claiming labor shortage forever now. All around the world it's done in order to drive down the wage and get government to invest in employee education/training which is then skimmed off by these companies. It's almost a meme now that there is labor shortage in everything. Pretty sure, restaurants and bars also claim labor shortage.
- expertentipp 8y agoCan confirm - in many industries regardless whether one works in Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, or Poland, the directory will be German. The difference being in Czechia, Slovakia, and Poland the cost-cutting will be more aggressive and the decision making will be more strictly top-down. Something among the lines "just write this bloody thing, you C/Java/Angular whore".
