Re: Software Production in India,
This is an elmatador type post. Except, he covers the globe; he really gets around it, and I'm restricted to places like Canada and Japan which I reach every year.
We all know that Indians' knowledge of English and programming makes for a tremendous and growing industry. But now I'm coming into direct contact and it's even more illuminating. I was paying a quite clever guy in Toronto US $87 an hour for some complex graphics programming, at which he's an expert. All the time he was complaining that the money wasn't enough, he was too good to be working for dumb asses like me, etc. etc. Now I am paying four guys in India, each $20 an hour. They are all experts, very smart chaps. They don't complain; if they think I'm dumb they politely hide it. US $20 an hour is extremely good pay in India, it's the reward of real experts.
I don't see a future for programmers in the English speaking countries unless they are working only on small jobs which would take too long to explain on the phone or they are near geniuses, the type that are always worth more than they are paid.
Some investment connection here, I trust.
