It's not so much as arrogance as it is just being honest about the quality of outsourced work. If you were worried about offending people, you would come up with all sorts of excuses for not outsourcing work. But honesty is not always the nicest thing to hear. I've been working with our outsourced team in Bangladesh and their quality of work is much less rigorous than that of our in-house team.
"Indians devs are levelling [sic] up fast and I predict that in 4-5 years the quality gap will become almost non existent."
You may be correct but the Original Post is talking about now*. Also, you seem to agree that there is a "quality gap".
- thewarrior 12y agoI completely agree about there being a quality gap. The reason was that Indian IT was dominated by body shopping companies that bid for grunt work and then threw quickly trained engineers at the problem , some of whom never even studied CS. This is changing now as we have an ecosystem of smaller companies which hire better people and have better processes and incentives. It will take time for the effects to be felt but I am confident that we will improve thanks to the better exposure we have , and learning from HN and Github. This isn't restricted to India though. Western developers should brace for a lot of competition in the years ahead. Eastern European developers are already almost as good.
