But now India is at a turning point. It's getting to be a leader
A leader at what? I can't offhand think of any software that I use that comes from India or China. I can think off a couple of things from Eastern Europe. Not much.
Programming contests? Eh. Programming by itself is completely worthless. It has to be matched with some problem...and such problems are not found in front of a monitor.
- ajju 19y agoThe only thing India is a leader at right now is developing outsourced software and services. I agree we need to see more finished products coming out of there. One of the reasons this doesn't happen is (I think) you can't develop a product while sitting thousands of miles away from your customers. You need a local market for whom you make the product and then if it's good you can export it. The local market in India for most types of software is still small (but growing).
