I want to point that rought code is expected from junior developers in general, not only "offshore" devs.
It is sad that developers from global south usually have to perform at a much higher level than their peers at the north, just because unfounded prejudices.
- RowanH 3y ago"Global South" that's a new one :) There's quite a lot of countries in the Southern Hemisphere ...
- alangibson 3y agoThat term goes back to the 90s

- Aeolun 3y agoOf course not. It’s just been ages since I hired any “junior” developers from the west. I can also sort of expect them to have gotten a standard university education. I sort of feel that a lot of developers from the global south have been literally plucked off the street, given a 2 week intro to programming, and were then put on client projects. I’ve seen great developers from basically everywhere, but the vast majority is garbage (at least at first).
- pineapple_guy 3y agoThe junior level is often magnified due to lack of English proficiency.
- joshmanders 3y agoWhat does their English proficiency have to do with their level? You realize your reply validates OP's comment. You're being prejudice and assume that all juniors are non-native English speakers.
