India is getting too expensive. China is the hot ticker.
Programming/Coding is a simple vocation now. It is understanding problems, determining the best long-term approach and managing the development cycle where Americans can excel.
Mind you, I keep my development tool kit pretty sharp and oiled. That lets me do a better job of managing (and lets me have fun while working) since I speak the proper lingua franca for the tasks at hand.
India... arrrrgh! Through Dell, we bought “Gold Level” technical support for our two systems. It used to be good, but now nobody there speaks English, so when this year’s contract is up we’re pulling out. Gotta find a good alternative and I have no idea how to do that. I will not struggle discussing technical stuff with someone whom I cannot understand. It makes my hair hurt. We’ve cut ties with a few organizations because of this.
