Yep, young developers and Indians can’t code for crap. It is all about plug-ins to make plug-ins work and open source. None of them can write real old fashion code that doesn’t depend on several third party libraries and frameworks, but they can dazzle you with the latest speak from some blog somewhere.

I worked with a TON of them

We have effectively brain-drained the whole country

They talk a good game, can recide from memory the C# syntax, but can’t code for $hit.

I interview with a ton of these guys. Whenever anyone asked about some obscure c# class or attribute I say “I don’t know what that is, I’ve never had a need to use it” and then if they act all superior I ask THEM about some obscure code that I have used and how they would adapt it to accept data from a hardware device connected to a serial port.

I swear hardly any of them knew how to make an event handler to handle process the input. And the ones that did prcessed it a character at a time, until I asekd them about data coming in at 128kbaug and how they would refresh the screen after each character....

They KNOW what a mutex or semaphore or monitor is, but when asked how to apply it in that situation they have no clue.
