What do programmers around the world think about Indian programmers?

The good ones left India for the USA, Canada and Europe?

@heyheni so did the shitty ones.

Nothing good. Not only devs -- CS in general. There are a few that know what they are doing and they do their work well. But it's <10% in my xp...

I'm curious why is that. Maybe cultural nuances? Maybe jugaad has something to do with it? It definitely seems so. Some of them are definitely lazy / doing things only so you'd leave them alone rather than for the quality. Many are never walking an extra mile towards excellence. It's a rare case to find a truly reliable person [indian] who would work decently.

I haven't noticed any correlation between their current location and work quality. I know a few in IST who are excellent and a lot in PST who are backwards

Honestly, a lot of them sadly don't have any motivation to improve once they finish their education. I don't know why that is, but of course there are exceptions. Those exceptions really do their best and work hard to improve.

So, as in any culture, there are shitty ones and there are good ones.

I don't know what to think about the devs themselves, but I feel like there are many of them because there is always some "indian dude tutorial" on anything

I've worked with quite a few and all have been brilliant.

everytime you say indian dev I remember 🍝 spaghetti code

Devs _from_ India 🚩
Devs that _are_ Indian ,👍

@beegC0de what?

@rutee07 don't do it, his hole is too large

@irene or maybe they try to show an accent

@JustThat hahah

This is how I see the situation if I were a manager:

Do I want a (probably) clean code, with good documentation and less bugs? -> no indians

Do I have want some quick and cheap solution with no need for documentation and probably fix some bugs afterwards? -> SUMMON THE INDIANS

@heyheni
The good ones who stayed are already employeed locally by tech giants like Google.

I guess too much chicken curry just fucks with your brain or so.

Whoa. Didn't expect all this business on this thread. My DevOps guy and a JS dev at my company are both from India and they do good work. Dont think it has to do with being Indian and more has to do with the person's attitude, choices, skills, and experience, pretty much like everyone else. I've met plenty of shitty euro devs that jerk it to the existence of Node and think every data problem requires Machine Learning (and some who suggested JS was a premier data science language??) so I'm hesitant to judge a dev based on where they're from. Best to just look at each individual and see how they do.

@noobrants Lol, JS and data science.
