"So you want to hire somebody for less than ~ $20 per hour.
And you expect the quality of $200 per hour experienced developer.
Stop having crazy expectations."
I'm sorry, but I have also had my fair share of bad Indian programmers. No actual good ones, but then again, I stopped trying after 8 or so. 200 dollars is worth a lot more in India than, let's say, San Francisco. Living expenses are a lot lower over there. I have however experienced geest Ukrainian, Russian and Romanian programmers.
I don't want to be ignorant, but Indians I've experienced also have a different concept of deadlines (they never met them, by a long shot).
I think all of the good Indians probably get awesome job opportunities outside of India, which would make a lot of sense, causing some of these problems. And as the Author stated, IT is one of the better jobs, there's a huge demand. But this indeed causes people to choose IT for opportunities over something that they'd enjoy more.
