Well put. I agree with everything you've said. I will say that I've noticed a distributing trend which points to a lack of integrity among some of the Indian programmers coming straight from India. Two things in particular were astonishing to me: 1) Many of the Indian programmers routinely lie on their resumes about their experience. If they took a 6 month training course on a technology, they will say they have 3 years of experience. 2) In some of the larger consultancies, a skilled developer will sit for all the phone screens. Then they will send over who ever is available on the bench for the projects that the skilled person interviewed for, whether they sat for the interview with the client or not. If you know what to look for, these types of individuals are really easy to spot. The unfortunate problem is that many big company hiring departments don't know how to spot them and they impact the reputation of anyone of Indian origin.
