Just curious. If you have so many negatives in favor of Indian engineers, why do you still work with them? Is it because of cost effectiveness or is it because you think every engineer has negatives and these are just specifics to Indians?
- patio11 17y agoWith regards to my own business, I'm solidly in the let-it-all-hang-out camp. I'm also willing to tell you a few anecdotes from my professional career, but that is about as far as I can go. I really can't discuss strategic matters from my day job -- it would be a breach of their trust in me.
- paraschopra 17y agoOh, do you have to work with them during your day job? I thought it was regarding BingoCardCreator
- patio11 17y agoOh, BCC is a totally different story. I've worked with an Indian freelancer or two before, including most notably the young lady who did the site design I'm currently using. Using that experience as an example -- it wasn't totally friction-free but I got something valuable accomplished which I couldn't do myself. It would have been cheap at five times the price. With regards to BCC, I have no intention of outsourcing any project which is not small, self-contained, and describable in a page or less. That means coding the program/website stays in-house. Or, hmm, in apartment kitchen as the case may be.
