This is the perfect example of the "it's not germans is that Germany is better" meme that permeates the German culture directly from the words of a German guy :). The hidden implication is that Germans engineers are better because they grow up in a better environment. I'll leave it to you to judge. Let me just add a small note: it's not uncommon to see IT companies in Germany employing a lot of people from Eastern European countries.

As i said, on average. For every company that tries to copy the american outsourcing model and ends up with a crap heap because they're too cheap to pay for good code, i've seen two that actually care.

Also, i don't get where you get the "hidden implication" bit from. I'm outright stating that it is a fact that while german engineers may not be better people, or developers, or engineers, they have a lot of advantages pushing them beyond peers from less fortunate countries.
