Nish, stop spreading a stereotypes. You're watching too much of the popular media news or something. How do you measure the programming skills to get to the conclusion that any nation's programmers are better than others? I can garantie you that if you make a proper research you will find it totally random, with slight shift towards more advanced countries (easier access to technology, it helps). But to say that some country's programmers are better than others just doesn't hold, you have to go on a case-by-case basis, each person is different individual and it's impossible to generalize.

I really dont think indian or paki programmers are bad. In fact impersonally speaking I believe that new generation americans are not good as programmers due to their luxury-filled childhood life styles. But just wait till those chinese guys take over.

Now, why do you think he is better because of his race? See, no reason. It's because it doesn't matter. So, there is nothing like X-Nation programmers are better than Y-Nation programmers. It's irrelevant. Nish [BusterBoy] wrote: The fact is when you convert the US $ to Indian or Pakistani currency it is a lot of money. Which is why Indian or Pakistani programmer will be cheaper.

FWIW, I stopped watching TV about two years ago. I'll watch the odd show that I like ( like the Blue Planet ), and put on a video from time to time because my wife likes to watch them and it gives us time together, but that is it, nor do I play games apart from an hour of Worms World Party at lunch time every day.

Exactly my point George. But then you said the software quality is down now cause of cheaper programmers. You said you only get what you paid for which is not true :-) An american working at $70/hr would not be better than a pakistani working at $10/hr. Money rate has nothing to do with quality.

That in turn leads to hiring cheaper programmers, which in general leads to a drop of quality. But it's the money that makes a difference, not the nationality.

Pakistani working at $10/hr will do just as well as american at $10/hr. The problem is that american has to live in america and so he can't work that small rate. Pakistani will take his $10 to Pakistan and so he will compensate the loss on the exhange rate and cost of living. If that pakistani is as good as american he would request and he would get more/less the same rate. Money has all to do with quality. You can see it at every corner, not just programming.

I never meant that anyway :-) But indo-pak programmers are cheaper not cause they are poor quality programmers but because they come from poorer countries. I dont see that bringing a drop in quality.

Again I agree with you George. I mean I will not work at a sub-normal rate just cause I am from India. I mean if I can code as well as anyone else I'd demand that I be paid the normal rate too. I dont believe in stealing an american's job by agreeing to work at a 10th the normal rate.

The news circulating in South Asia these days is that Pakistan is planning to test-fire a new kind of intercontinental ballistic missile - "Tipu" in response to the current missile test by India. The name of this missile was first heard in the year 1999 when it was reported in a local news paper. It was said that the missiles of this series are targeted for the country's space program, however the missile was not been constructed by Pakistan space agency SUPARCO, but by defence company called Pakistan Atomic energy commission. US CIA has neither confirmed nor deny the presence of such missile The missile is described as being 12 meters long and having the range of 5000 km. The utility of a missile in this range class is obscure, since the 1500 km range Ghauri/Hatf-5 provides almost complete coverage of India, and politically interesting targets at more than twice this range are rather difficult to identify. The missile can carry nuclear or conventional warhead however the major aspect of this missile is the electromagnetic destruction of powerstations Imran Farooqui
In some of the UK papers yesterday, a defence analyst said that neither country have weapons of anything like that range - 1200 km was the range said. They only have short range missiles; not Intermediate range, long range or Intercontinental missiles. If either side launched, because they only have warheads with 10 KT (kiloton) or larger warheads (they don't have anything smaller), they would risk the fallout blowing back on themselves, so it would be pointless firing the things, unless they wanted full out nuclear war.

"Why is it always the western powers fault? Why does Africa and all the other 3rd world nations around the world blame the west?" No, of course it is not always the western powers' fault. But we have to blame someone, don't we? ;) The western powers used to blame the Soviet Union for everything, now Soviet Union is no longer there, they tried to shift all the blames to China. However, they are not very successful on that, so they drag tiny countries like North Korea and Cuba (typically the countries they don't give a damn about) into the blames. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: My point is, not just people in the third world countries are brain-washed on this issue. Most of us are brain-washed one way or the other, some of us just don't know it or don't want to know it. ;)

Hey George!!! 12 yrs old girl from pakistan and 14 yrs old guy from india are SCJPs (SUN certified JAVA professionals). Any "quality" professional form US has achieved any such certifications in fore mentioned age. :confused: Just think about it. Imran Farooqui
I think you just defined the problem with programmers from that region. Technically they are, on average, probably more proficient than a typical western programmer. However, they concentrate on cetification and passing tests to achieve technical proficiency. As a result, their work is far less creative and shows less innovative flair and imagination than one would expect from a western programmer. The best programming teams I have ever worked with have consisted of one or two programmers of an India/Pakistani background and one or two of a western background. That way, you get the best of both worlds. "Thank you, thank you very much" Elvis.
