You are right about the lack of info on cs. Thats all.
How can you know or why do you associate that the indian (!) programmers team cant deliver good code?
In my eyes that looks like racism.
Have you ever worked with them (indians) or with code delivered by them?
I do. Everyday.
I am an IT project manager for large clients and all our code is written in India.
There are great professionals there who get it done right and on time.
You can get crappy code or programmers in USA, Germany or Japan. Depends on the company and the people you have selected to work with.
Racial discrimination cannot be an excuse.
The same here. I´m working with them and their code on a daily basis. What I see is that they are not thinking about what they are doing, just coding, like writing am email. We have several partners in india with different daily rates, they all lack of precision. Sometimes we get really good people to work with us, but the waste majority is worth exactly what they get, not a cent more.
One time we got code that wasn´t even compiling because of typeos. And this has been already reviewed by one of the indian managers over there.
You are correct. In 90% of the cases and especially when you work directly with developers they will execute a request 1:1 and will not think "outside the box" or anything. They would not spot an issue until you point it out, or be proactive in any other way.
I am lucky that now i have a good team lead who is very proactive and saves me a lot of time in error checking and writing documentation and etc.
Either way blaming it on the coders is no excuse, the "front mane" is the one responsible for the project.
Enough off-topic, the beta of the exchange looks really good! I hope it does not stay in beta for a long time.
