  1. Re:I am a sysadmin on The Pragmatic Programmers Interviewed · · Score: 1
    I don't begrudge the engineers in India, I actually think they are doing a very huge favor for most of us left in the U.S. They are relieving us of the cost of developing simple UIs and basic programmatic functionality while allowing us here at home the ability to spend time designing instead of coding. We can then send our designs overseas to the programmers in Inida for implementation.

    Don't you think this is just plain old arrogance? And why are you treating the subject in such a "us versus them" way?
    Dude, there are programmers, coders, designers, developer, architects, whatever-you-wanna-call-them beyond the ocean! And they all need to make a living too. We all need.

    And I know that sometimes this might be hard to believe but THERE IS intelligent life outside your neighborhood.

    But my point really was: are you sure you are looking at the right end of the equation? Is the quest for even more profit somehow connected to all this? what the status quo want you to believe?
    ...program designing (what's the right word??) can't be done by foreigners. It's got to be done right here at home by people whom we trust implicitly.
    WOW! Now we're getting really xenophobic, aren't we?

    Peace, brother.
