that's a joke, right?
eastern europe is chock full of awesome talent, talent that can actually get shit done without constant supervision.
outside of the most braindead tasks i have not seen anything productive coming out of indian it shops.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoEastern Europe might be better - I'm mainly familiar with Britain, Spain, France and Italy. Can anyone with firsthand knowledge offer any info? I'm not proposing one emulate the Infosys model, which I think is what you are criticizing. I'm proposing going to India and hiring developers the same way you would if you were in the US. There is no shortage of excellent developers here - I've had great success in hiring myself.
- pjc50 12y agoEstonia is particularly switched-on, and there are small but determined communities in Romania and the Czech republic. Italy is badly underestimated; the big Italian contribution people will know is the Arduino. Long engineering tradition in the north especially around Milan. Spain is something of a disaster area after the property boom, but Barcelona seems to have the trendy/techie atmosphere that people admire. France is probably closest to the stereotype. I knew someone who had to deal with ST Microelectronics (Nice) and they were as bureaucratic and ossified as you'd imagine. Somehow they still manage to ship stuff.
