Hey, I live in Boomfoque, WY.
Why are you dissing the place? ;)
Listen, if you don’t understand dependency injection and why it is good to use a quality IoC to stub and mock during TDD, then you don’t understand why interfaces and the Strategy design pattern is better than Abstract Classes when using multiple interface inheritance.
I’ve been with Injuns who were a lot harder to get along with than the place where I am now. The two-level management system especially stinks. Maybe it was just because of this, that Jesus warned us that we can’t serve two masters (well that was a joke, of course it was for more, but still it’s oh so achingly true).
Funny but ,true
They just press the reset button on their foreheads when they hear no.
Nossir. You DO need to discriminate and use tech to winnow out the chaff from the wheat, though.
The two successful techniques I have used are:
A) If you have an indian accent on the phone with me, I say "I have already accepted a position and am off the market." They say goodbye and get off the phone fast.
B) If you send me an email and disregard my requirements, your entire company is put into my Yahoo mail ban filter. (Settings: Ban Addresses).
These two techniques make it so that the American firms now can contact me, and the SPAM is gone.
Call 1-800-MY-CURRY
Especially is this true if his name is Peggy.
That made me laugh out loud. LOL
Phone screening systems help. I don’t know if you are an enemy-of-Google but their Google Voice was quite helpful in a situation like this. They could start leaving their message and then if I liked what I started to hear, I mashed 1 and was connected in. If I heard a lot of possible B.S. I just let the voicemail take it.
Exactly.
BOOP!
Nah. Peggy is in Russia. I’m talking Indians. :)
Suprisingly, Russian developers are actually very good. I have a peer, Olecks (Alex in English) who is top-of-the-line.
LOL
Hope to BOOP you in October.
Provided the job thing settles down and I got money to do it, I will.
>>The issue is the cultural differences. In the case of most Indians, some 90%, they will do EXACTLY as you ask. And that is their downfall.<<
It is crap b/c they work a lot but they are LAZY. One simple RL example (and I have worked in IT for over 35 years, the last 20 or so in consulting): Program A works produces a nifty report. Client wants a new subtotal but also wants original report.
Obvious (and only correct) Solution: Add a parameter to run old way or new way.
Indian solution: Copy program A and change to add new subtotal.
In this case, repeat Indian solution 6 TIMES!!
Obvious problem occurs: Bug in program A. Indian solution requires fixing program A and B and C all the way through F. And the fix IS NOT THE SAME CODE even though the fix is identical!!
Multiply be every Indian developer on Earth and scale to really complex modules (where you will see code repeated over and over rather than capsulized and called) and you begin to see the ocean of crap that enterprises have gotten (since QC never actually does anything other than deal with appearances).
BTW: I worked with Chinese developers and never saw the level of crap I always saw with Indians. Always. Every time.
I hope you do, too! Get out there and beat the pavement! We need ya here! :)
The Indians that do customer service for American Express are unbelievably and consistently excellent at their jobs.
All of the other Indians, Filipinos, etc that other companies use are retarded.
There is no reason these jobs can’t be done by US citizen stay at home moms, college students, welfare recipients, etc.
Time to bring these jobs back to America
You, sir, clearly have experience. Chinese aren’t too bad, neither are Russians.
Indians are the worst (well, 90% of them. The 10% that are good are AMAZING good).
Glad to hear the Indians are doing Amex right.
Sorry Laz, I realize I just repeated your example.
Can I talk about hard coding? As in: How do you determine if an account is an asset?
Correct Solution: Look at account attribute (OMG, external lookup table maybe!).
Indian solution: Look for a “1” in column 2 of the account number (since that is what they “usually do.”)
