> What did you have to unlearn and relearn? Twenty years ago I worked for 6 months in India as a consultant intern to Indian programmers. My experience is that Indian programmers are very gifted and clever but caught in everyday hustle. They tend to work chaotically, misunderstand requirements and lack long-term and fundamental thinking. I understand that because as I experienced it myself they had to fight with everyday annoying nuisances like power going off unpredictably. I had the luxury of a laptop (then a high-end 486 Compaq one) so I could shutdown at leisure but I vividly remember the many times light going off suddenly the nights and everybody moaning. We were programming in server-side JavaScript, many years before Node was a thing. I imagine GP meant unlearning short-term thinking.
