"I was a software engineer for 33 years. Your attitude about "skill level required" was typical..." Though I didn't work as much as you but actually, I have also been a software developer for the past twenty years and I agree that if corporations had hired properly skilled programmers we may not have had some of the problems with spaghetti and difficult to maintain code. Because of my experience in both Indian and US software industry, I would say that there used to be a difference in US and Indian programmers back in 70-80's. At that time, US employers cared very little about education levels of programmers while in India, programmers primarily hailed from coveted schools such as IITs. However, the situation has changed drastically in India now. Now, quick and half-baked diploma graduates are hired to meet the soaring demand in the software field in India and they are no longer only coming from the coveted schools. They are writing equally messy code.
