The irony is NY Times have probably paid Hacker News to promote this article here.

Besides that, what makes you think news is more accurate if its paid for ?

What, who pays a fortune ? .. most indian developers are self-taught geeks who pick stuff up easily. C++ is the mother of all modern languages and I suspect job specification that mention "C++" is an indication of that.

With that I've noticed Indian developers work with much more languages than a developer here, who 'focuses' or 'specialises' on one or two languages/code stacks.

My only conclusion to the notion that outsourced jobs yield low quality code is that companies DO NOT PAY ENOUGH. Pay more and you get better project management, better project scope, and future proof code.

In the 21st century sweatshop workers should not exist ! that goes for the IT industry too.

Meh, we had to learn Pascal here in the UK (2005). In my opinion, learning C++ early on is better than jumping on a bandwagon language like PHP, and expect to learn JavaScript with relative ease.

I agree with Kohanz & API ... outsourcing companies throw peanuts at developers and expect quality code.

I don't see that layout as necessary. Can't you make it 1 layout, with the comments threaded under the link..

He still used CSS styling. If anything, its a take on bringing back Times New Roman... everything is designed.

India is electing a new government in 2014. Giving the $1 trillion expenditure a better chance of curbing said problem.

Most of the contractors will be foreign. e.g. The North-South Rail Corridor being built by Japan's International Cooperation Agency
