I’ve worked with devs all over the world. Something is specifically wrong in India and China. They hire in masses and produce nothing.

I haven’t worked with Chinese devs but Indians have a culture of faking, scamming, and stealing - I’ve never had a good experience working with them.

When you try to explain to an Indian what you expect him to deliver, he’ll interrupt you to loudly declare “NO PROBLEM, SAR, ITS NO PROBLEM” sometimes even waving his arms. The impression you get is that you just asked a stupid question - like if someone was building you a house and you asked if there would be a front door. “Of course there’ll be a front door you idiot, this isn’t my first house”

But then with Indians you get a house with no front door. Then when you point that out they act like it’s no big deal to add one after the fact. It’s fucking infuriating.
