The bit about Indian developers is simply bizarre. Firstly, Indian developers are more expensive than they've ever been, so that notion made more sense a decade ago. Secondly, has anyone every heard of outsourced shops developing exploits using low-paid talent? I don't recall that ever being the case, and instead it's a small number of very skilled but unfortunately motivated developers.
Those inexpensive offshore developers can barely sling some Visual Basic together. They aren't developing clever NX circumvention exploits.
- gsuberland 13y agoHi there, I'm the author of this article. I wrote this about a year ago, when the average salary of an Indian developer was significantly less, and there was a huge market in low-quality low-cost development houses out there. These days you can replace "India" with Sri Lanka, China, or any of the other countries with a significant poor minority and an up-and-coming tech market. My primary point was that there are people with a price-point way below that of your average US or UK worker, so the cost of production is much lower.
