I saw this on programming.reddit.com and wondered if the NYPHP mailing
list had any thoughts on the subject.
Particularly:
"The mailing lists were never easy to read through but if a man put
his mind to it and used the delete button swiftly enough you could
actually get something out of them and maybe even find a reason to
stay on. But ever since everybody in North America cheaped out and
started sending all the work to India the mailing lists of every major
product have been polluted with the Sanjays and Prashants of this
world asking questions that make me wonder why the he[ck] we're
sending out our prized projects to these seemingly incompetent
people."
I honestly don't see much difference between this and when students
would flood a list with questions when their final projects where due.
Nor was there much difference between this and the late spring/summer
flood of new graduates trying to figure out what their doing.
It is slightly worse in that due to poor english skills, you have a much
lower percentage of noobs who actually will graduate to supplying
advice. OTOH, maybe they go off and do so on their own lists.
