💬 This old HN thread raises quite a few questions. It’s a little hard for the ego to read some of the comments. But I guess one should use criticism to grow. The below quote is one of the sensible comments.

I recently had a contract job where I worked on code written by indian dev's. My main reaction was that they were actually quite capable and knew more than a few tricks, but these particular dev's were also making a large number of amatuer mistakes. There was a lot of copy/pasting of large blocks of code, for example.

My impression was that if they knew more high level theory, and did things in a more organized way, that they could be even more lazy and make even more money.
