95% Engineers in India Unfit For Software Development Jobs: Report (gadgetsnow.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Talent shortage is acute in the IT and data science ecosystem in India with a survey claiming that 95 percent of engineers in the country are not fit to take up software development jobs. According to a study by employability assessment company Aspiring Minds, only 4.77 percent candidates can write the correct logic for a programme -- a minimum requirement for any programming job. Over 36,000 engineering students form IT related branches of over 500 colleges took Automata -- a Machine Learning based assessment of software development skills -- and over 2/3 could not even write code that compiles.
...that we can discuss the abysmal skills of your average Indian IT worker, without being branded a racist, or using excessive PC language.
I heard that 3/4 of the people working on Windows 10 couldn't write code that compiles, so I understand why they are hiring from India. ;)
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
I am shocked! I cannot describe how shocked I am.
But of course I'll train them! I'll go into every detail informing them about the Slebit and Nifdit adjustments that we do in the Sedurok Environment, so we can easily interface from there with the INKFUUL. That's the technology you're familiar with, right? I mean, you don't want me to tell my current and your future boss that you don't understand what I'm talking about here, do you?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
When asked about it he said the spec didn't say it needed to check buffer sizes or not crash if not used in the exact way that the manual specified, with no room for error.
I don't see a problem with this. You want specific levels of error handling? Put it in the spec.
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
