[PGR88]

I had a room full of Chinese programmers at about $10/hr and with a good amount of management and patient communications I was able to turn out a lot of really good programs.

I have no doubts about that. What other locations are good? India? Philippines?

India is a challenge because:

1) They think they speak English so they don’t try to be understandable

2) They have TERRIBLE approach habits — for example if you have 3 requirements that are 90% the same they will write 3 programs (cloning the first) rather than 1 program with 3 options.

Never worked with Filipinos
