"Dear Customer, Due to international undersea cable system down between India to Europe, you may face slow issues in some sites. Inconvenience regretted-Beamtele". I just got that message from my Indian ISP, Beam Telecom. Some European sites are noticeably slower for me here in India.
From the map, it looks like they are skipping the Philippines. I wonder why. I thought the Philippine population was blowing up, and I think they are also heavy Facebook users.
Based on the people I've hired, I totally agree with you. Funny how most people here are defending the recent grad in the article. I guess we have a lot of young devs here.
I'd be upset too. It means management doesn't understand that senior developer is almost always better than a fresh grad. Hot emerging technologies are easy to pick up for the senior development and in the long run, his overall wisdom will pay off. Without that wisdom, young guns make high-level mistakes and write code with more bugs.
As the sole proprietor of a small software company I pay 15% business tax. I have to compete with large software companies that who pay less taxes? Isn't it enough that the large companies have dominate market share? Small companies should pay no tax and large ones should pay high tax -- because the large companies (whether intentional or not) use their power to against smaller companies.
Geographically speaking, I think Buffalo is better than Silicon Valley for a server -- if you have European customers. My server in Buffalo had good latency for users in both North America and Europe. My server in Silicon Valley had worse latency for my European users. I'm surprised there aren't more data centers in the New York area.

If an Indian gives you a time estimate, you need to double it.
They'll be back by their 40s.
