"Monkey" and "indian" indicate a poisonous attitude, even at 50 years experience. I've dealt with people from India and Brazil, and they are not monkeys. Health and happiness to you anyway.

He's not saying what you read:

The term is not monkey but "code monkey", a standard term to refer to how some businesses treat software devs, not how the devs themselves are. And businesses like that are everywhere, including India.

I believe the etymology of the term comes from the infinite monkey theorem.

Why not just be more positive?
