Just want to say that I work with and have worked with many stellar coders from India. I'd suggest not writing off over a billion people.

Well, lucky you! ;)

I'm not "writing off" a billion people. But. It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

I did some research when this happened, and they even have a name for this [1]

Coincidentally, our experience with people from Easter Europe is quite the opposite: Of all the people we hired from there, all except one were stellar (And the "one" was also good, just that he had some greys ethically: Had a disagreement with our boss, and disappeared over a weekend after siphoning large amounts of data from our system)

You’ve missed the point entirely
Please don't post swipes to HN. It would be fine to explain what the point was, in a neutral way.
