Re: Outsourcing developer to India and China - As an Oracle developer I am miffed

I do agree with all the views in one context or other. Yes, Americans businessmen must take care of their country before counting the figures. But yes, this perceptive should not be confined only when evaluating outsourcing.
There is one eastern saying, and as per that, even GODs are sacrificed for money. Just look around you. May I quote Enron here.

Technically speaking, India and US does not make any difference. In any major IT company in US, at programmer level, there are lot of Indians. Decision making is much simple, if all you to decide is to pay the same person $60 or $20. (And it looks like blessing if you have to pay $100 for the same job). Is not bargain called smart shopping?

I do not beleive that people in one country are more intelligent than other. But Indians have to compete for petty things. And to understand suvival techinques, animal kingdom will give you much better perceptive.

There is one world where I would like to live. Where people are not hated beacuse of skin color or place of birth. Where there is brotherhood all aorund. And all those craps for which you fund charity organizations.

But hey, we have one world where there are first , second and third "world".

Life is beautiful. Just enjoy it.
