That is a nice point to bring to light. Most of the companies are moving to Agile.

Desi developers in India hate agile because they feel like someone is always breathing. Agile means performing everyday. Desi offshore in Agile hate their lives.

Waterfall means you can continue like college, slack and enjoy for most of the project, when delivery time comes, do all nighters to make the delivery happen.

Mental_sachinodu:

which i do not agree.



I second that.
All languages are the same, it is the same for-loop, if-else statements, switch-case, bitwise operations if need be antaaru... only the syntax differs ani argue sesthaar...
All I think at that moment is you are not an engineer, you don't even know programming.. When you don't know when to use Factory Pattern, and when to use Singleton, your system is gonna turn-out crappy, and you'll only survive by fixing the defects anipisthadi...

article intent endho teldhu kani majority of desi coders chesedi plug n play coding. This plug n play is result of tech leads/managers doing not so good job of providing estimates. In my experience, ive seen desi managers over promising deliverable to the client.

Quality anedi years of practice of doing samething tho osthundi - i worked with some perl scripters who do wonders with perl because they have been working in perl for last 10 yrs or so. Desis do not have that luxury - they have to consistently change skills for various reasons.

Anand_n:

Metrics drive behavior anedi gattiga nammutanu



This I Agree. Two weeks ago Agile Workshop okati attend ayyanu. Mostly on Scrum, and little comparisons with Kanban.

Overall, Offshoring doesn't seem like a viable option for Onsite Agile projects. Oka big chunk dump chesi, deadline ichhesi, Offshore ni mee ishtam SDLC lo chesukuntaaro, Agile lo chesukuntaaro cheskondi... come back with finished working product ante oka 35% success rate vundochhu...
Day-to-day or Alternate Days status calls vunde sprint-cycles based Onsite Scrum implementation ki Offshoring is a pedda bokka.

I now tend to think that the article in the OP is biased more towards projects done from Scratch. SOW kinda Struts, Spring and Hibernate vaadi 3 months lo intranet website deliver cheyandi ani isthey naasi rakam product vasthundi. T&M contracts lo system enhancements, defect resolution tyfe projects are a lot smoother and add to a lot of success rate for the offshore company.

Anand_n:

Model marite towards product delivery more than services delivery, measurement criteria marutundi, design quality, code efficiency, reusability,performance tuning of the finished product will find place in performance measurement of the companies and percolate down to the individual.... if majority fall deficient appudu training curricula maratayi...




Companies are today competing on services and resources, and the reason is being cost effective while managing to bid bigger and longer projects. The product and the quality of it does not matter as long as there is another company which can offer them another product, hence the lack of focus on quality anipinchindhi.

If companies were delivering products instead of services, it automatically transforms to quality and efficiency. The moment someone says you get the same developer for cheap, i cringe. In my view good developers do not come cheap.

evadu ayina raasedhi same program ani chepthaaru... which i do not agree.

Anand_n:

Desam lo kuda model marchi end to end product development teesukovali



honestly, laabham ledu.
Meeru Manager perspective lo plan chesthunnaru, nenu Dev perspective lo reality parichayam chesthunnanu.
Code Quality, Code Style, Coding Standards anevi assalu pattavu indian IT projects lo.
Design Patterns, Algorithms, asalu yevvariki teliyanu kooda teliyav annattu vuntundi atmosphere.
5 yrs of experience, including 2 to 3 yrs on bench is good enough to be promoted as a team-lead.
Real promotion kaakapoyinaa, job-profile and responsibilities automatically will pull the Dev into managerial and delegation kinda role.
US lo Oracle DB Exception Number chepithey em jaruguthu vundochhu point-blank precise gaa guess cheyagalaru... India lo Managers panic button press sesi, higher management ki dev-teams are full of rebellions ani seppi rachha sesthaaru...

80% of the Indian Coders in India are of poor quality ( if good then slow, if fast then bad). Overall, poor value for money.
20% of the remaining Indian Coders are like 80% of the US Coders, they give value to the American company because they are getting the same product for 1/4th of the cost.

and usually the best skilled 10 percent (H1Bs) are taken to the US or put in leadership positions in India.

You also do see cases in the US where individuals are paid well for doing very little.

Nice:




Vuncle idhi business kadha... Why does the bsuiness care about the people of the country it operates in.. Only bottom line matters kadha

At least that's what the reality is. Take Apple for example -- China lo production... ..

Thammuddu thammudu pekate pekate annatu.... In this flat world the bottom line matters - and there is a conflict of interest between employee financial well being and business well being.. .. So it is not rocket science to guess what will be given more priority.

30 to 40% of the cost ki same quality expect cheyatam waste.
Of course, in general full cost pay chesinaa.. Indians mentality won't change much. As long as it works, it is good. Value addition, defect mitigation efforts zero. malli malli defects vasthene manaki jobs vuntaayi. Most white guys I have worked with don't want to go back to fix something, so the first time they write code, they really complete it!!!

Pulihara article...

Amru galaki farak lekapothe indiaki yeppudo pamipichadam apeyvalu.

Ikkada challa pedda anti indian sentiment vundi india IT jobs antha dobbesthandi ani. Many feel the software guys here are getting screwed because some 25 yr old from Bangalore took his job even in 2013.


Once, twice, thrice, maybe even four times is luck. But if they keep coming back over and over, It's working for the customer.
That's all that matters.

Ee amru galla mentality naku ardam avadu. It's a globalized village, thokkolo "stop sending our jobs to india"... Neee abba ray... That wasn't your job to begin with.. Lowest wage demanding individual gets it.

Toooo much entitled attitude in west asala.
