The problem is that their best writers are all drunk by 10:00 a.m.

That's what makes them the best! When they are sober, they couldn't even beat Minesweeper on beginner. With the Vodka flowing, they give Bill Gates a run for his money!

You might never have heard of valentina, but it is a very efficient Russian relational database engine that is found embedded in a wide variety of software. Highly commercial and highly successful, but not particularly visible.
I don't think that it is a lack of software skills that holds back Russian software from commercial exploitation in the West. I beleive it is far more likely to result from a lack of commercial, financing and marketing expertise.
The very same things that underlie the fact that there aren't Russian car dealerships in every East Coast city of the United States.
You may cite a lack of quality - or lack of competitivelness. I say yep, exactly my point.

I guess that makes'em good at internets too.

I want to correct a mistake: The valentina database is not Russian, it is Ukrainian, as is its developer, Ruslan Zasukhin.
Still, it's slavic.
To: John Valentine
It is a good thing that you made the correction; I have known Ukranians who would have beaten someone with a bat for calling them Russian.
