Excellent points. In my personal experience, I've had terrible dealings with
overseas firms. On the flip side, the sharpest person I've ever worked with
was from New Delhi.
Getting back to the point at hand, I believe that Pick Systems had some
development work done in Russia, during the
Indian development firms are pretty much the same as any other - if you get
a small highly focused team of experts they will achieve a lot. The problem
is when you get large pools of programmers of various skill levels, and so
need more management time than it would take to program it in the first
I don't think anyone was questioning Jay's intelligence. He is probably a
very intelligent person or he would not have been hired. What is in question
is the intelligence of the individuals that hired the firm he works for and
the intelligence of the people that gave him the work to do without
I don't see where you are coming from here. Every program I ever produce is
for a specific purpose. We don't create one program and then have an
assembly line that types it in several times over and over again. We just
make copies of it. Programming takes skill, intelligence, and imagination.

Actually for many it is mass produced. Specification is being done to the
absolute minutia, for example in the Unified Rational process, when
generating use cases these get transmitted down to the architectural
specifications and become the actual classes in the code (there is even

No, PS/RD/TL no longer has development in Russia. However D3 does

It was my understanding that JBase would work with Unicode data, stored in
UTF-8 format.
With a number of the modern languages, there is a lot of code that is mind
numbing boring and tedious. What is a couple of lines in unibasic is hundreds
of lines in .Net, Java, etc. What is being outsourced is all the tedious
unclever stuff such as defining variables and validations and other
If you are going to go that far with the minutia then why not just type it
