I'm not sure that the number is that large, although I have seen
a few. Most of the mediocre work I've seen has been because the
companies wanted it that way; they used a process which
encouraged mediocre work, and in many cases, put impediments in
front of the programmers to prevent them from doing good work.

It's not so much that I hate Indian programmers or people for that matter, but there are certain things that **** me off when it comes to Indian people.

1)The fact that they do not have much manners, and can be very rude at times.

2) A lot of them can smell quite bad ( can you say shower??)

3) They have a thick accent and yet speak very quickly, and the combination leaves me wondering what they are saying, yet they think they are speaking perfect English. I myself am not a native English speaker, yet try my hardest to speak as clearly as possible and continue to improve my skills.

4)I hate that I have to close my office door on account of them because they are stinking up the place heating their food. As I said before I was not born here, but out of respect for others I do not bring food to the office that could offend others out of courtesy.

5) I hate having to hear the same monotone voice with a heavy accent on every tech conference that I go to.


I am actually thinking about changing career because it just bothers me so much.
