No offence, but this is something that I see every day from my Indian colleagues at work -- instead of stopping for a moment and finding a right way to go, they just keep pushing harder in some unoptimal direction. Yes, this might fill you with a sense of righteousness, but no way the carpenter (see comments to the blog post) who works 10 hours a day is better off than the one who does only 5 hours of _right_ work.
- FraaJad 17y agoThe dynamics at work in a typical IT shop are different. Indian IT industry does not depend on "programming geniuses". getting their shit done by the day it was promised is more important for them, because the client will not pay for "indian outsourced guy" for having a moment of programming epiphany. Of course, this is not just to blame the customer.. Most Indian IT Managers still believe in Taylor's "scientific" management methods.. So, whoever is "seen" working 10 hours to solve a problem will earn a brownie point. note: Edited for clarity
