Brazil does produce, even if not in sufficient numbers, very good engineers, some of which are exported to developed countries. As far as "lack of skilled labor", one has to wonder if the salaries being offered by the Chinese company are on a par with those in the Brazilian job market. Perhaps it's not the lack of good Brazilian engineers, but good Brazilian engineers willing to receive Chinese salaries.
The age of weird programmers is coming to and end: as programming languages become less and less arcane and code reuse is increasing in such a pace that it's becoming a crime to write original code, the profession is slowly loosing part of the allure once responsible for attracting those eccentric types. Having worked for a C++ R&D and team and later a JEE team, I can tell the difference in eccentricity is remarkable.

The problem are the earlier sunsets -- oh I miss you Sun!
Just in time for it to be remembered nostalgically in 10 years as one of the defining games of Generation Z.
A teen has just texted me TFA.
