    True, except when he's angry or trying to insult someone, then he degenerates into just this sort of babel.

    Babble. Although, from a play-on-words point of view, Babel[^] works too :-D.

      Firstly, this is a public forum that thousands of professionals visit. So, your mood accounts to squat.

      Secondly, people are just giving you their opinions. You should not expect that they must share their opinion with yours. At times (like this), you will be the butt of a joke. But you are the reason. You started a thread like this and kept arguing against other's opinions, and that's *your* mistake. So, buy what they have to give you. If you ask me, silence would be a far better way to go.

        I heard from my company and from my some of friends as while biding for a project you will get 7 quotation from China along with single quotation from India.Because if you wont get project it directly goes to China. No doubt China recover lot in software. But my questions are Is this due to China bids with very low rate? or quality of Indian development is reduced? or Is this due to Indian people not able to follow dead line? Your suggestions and opinions are inevitable... Thanks, Anish Bhagwat

              I've been getting the same feeling from this end. A decade ago peanuts got you a Physics Phd with a love of mathematics and software development. Now if you're lucky peanuts will get you a vaguely capable code monkey or if you're unlucky someone who can switch on a computer most days, it seems. India's great success in creating an affluent, successful and pricier middle class seems to have gone unnoticed by the bean counters in the west, however.

                When the combination of rising local salaries and higher administrative overhead due to differing timezones and cultures largely eat away the cost saving of outsourcing at the global level. When significant cost savings are no longer to be found the relative ranking of quality in team selection can only go up. I've read that this is already starting to happen in India with the cheapest at any cost people increasingly looking to poorer coders elsewhere.

                    Five years ago I worked on some VoIP related project and I needed from some libraries for parsing H323 protocol. The company found some paid/and expensive/ solution created in India. It just doesn’t work. The Indian guys even send us parts from the source code with the hope that we will find their own bugs!!!!! So after we review the code/don’t ask…/ we drop this solution. Soon after that I found some open source libraries created from Australians and Chinese programmers and under GNU license. They worked like charm. The difference was like between broken bicycle and a Ferrari. This is only one case, but it illustrates the problem. The quality is more important then the price.

                    You can't begin to talk about quality unless you have an actual functioning program. It sounds to me like you got scammed. You can't go after a lot of these Indian companies or individuals if they rip you off.

                              Very well put. Sadly, this trend is going to create a bad impression about Indian software development industry in general. Actually, it already has happened. :(

                                OK, to be as helpful as I can - indian teams in my experience told me they'd do what I said, then did something else, then disappeared when the deadline appeared and the code didn't. I inevitably ended up doing most of the work myself at the last minute.
