I fully agree with what you've said, and unfortunately it's a stereotype permeated by the IT Sweatshops of TCS, Infosys et al. I was brought up in an Urban city, English is the only language I've learnt right from childhood a

That was sarcasm, sorry you couldn't detect it. Some of us love to travel and experience other cultures. I'm well aware of traditional "Indian resources", one's that are trained over a 3 month period and passed off

Sorry you couldn't detect my sarcasm. But it's disheartening to see U.S. of all places succumb to such stuff [1]. U.S. was built on enterprising immigrants who made it the country it currently is. No other country could then stake

As an Indian, I doubt I'll qualify for work in these companies. The problem for non-EU, non-US devs wishing to work remotely [1] is that most companies can't legally employ you or aren't willing to jump through bureaucratic h

Leave it to us developers to over-engineer easy stuff. Static Websites are simple. That's the entire point of them. Every single change is instantly reflected on the page. A non-technical person can easily debug HTML (given countless

I'm still pretty much on Atom, but yes VSC wasn't expected. I would migrate if most of my plugins were available on there.

They're aware of the permeance of open-source in current tech scene and want to be a part of it than fight it. Not many startups (except for DreamSpark, BizSpark, and Seattle/Redmond based ones) build on MS stack nowadays. MS audi

I used JScripters as a short-hand. I'm well aware of the stigma surrounding JScript :P I've come across many JavaScript devs casually using and advising interns, etc to use anon functions to avoid cluttering code. It was almost

I've never understood JScripters' insistence on anonymous functions instead of named ones. As someone just delving into Node from another platform what're "proper best practices"-based JS patterns?

Nice to term separatists as Terrorists. Uyghurs' have always wanted self-determination and are culturally different from the Han Chinese, hence the resettled Hans in Xinjiang to prevent ethnic homogenity in the region.

Han Chinese were implanted in there to prevent Uyghur homogenity. So, why do "Anti-Terror" efforts involve force feeding muslims during the Islamic month of Ramadan? They have a Chinese flag affixed inside Masjids, and a lot more,

Metropolitan city centres have pretty good power/connectivity (4G/LTE, Fibre 100+ Mbit connections at ~$50USD). If you can get a cheap office space (with power backup of-course), you'd be golden. Suburbs and other tier-2 citi
