I tend to agree. I've worked in SV a long time, and a majority of non-US-born coworkers remain Indian. I see no evidence of this changing, so I find it implausible that slate has it's finger on the pulse of tech and is detecting a weakening of the role of Indian programmers, nor have I observed any decline in the quality or usefulness of Indian programmers, which is ultimately what matters.
- ummonk 5y agoI think the piece is about India the country, not Indian expats though?
- rsj_hn 5y agoI take the "influence" of India to be the pipeline of labor to SV. Those can be work-visa holders or those working in Indian offices, to me these two categories go hand-in-hand.
- valarauko 5y agoThe article does make a reference to casteism in SV perpetuated by indian expats, unrelated to the rest of the piece.
