This is not going to be true forever.
The idea that devs in india can never be good as devs in the USA is so absurdly arrogant I don't know what to say. I'm sure mechanics thought the same, engineers thought "no way the japs can make better cars" yea we saw how that went.
- toomanybeersies 6y agoThe problem isn't that Indian developers aren't as good as Western developers, it's that competent engineers tend to emigrate to wealthier countries. Approx 15,000 Indian-born IT professionals migrate to Australia each year [1], and there are around 300,000 Indian H1B visa holders (of any profession) in the USA [2]. I don't see this changing any time soon.
