I apologize for example with Indians, instead of Indians I can write Bulgarians, Pakistanis, Russians, Chinese, etc...... In that exact case work low paid/qualified programmers from that country. In my country there a lot of programmers with low qualification, which work in the same hourly rate range.
Cost of living is the same all over the world for some class people. Computer, software, courses, exams, education cost the same in Bulgaria, India, USA, Canada, Russia...
We do talk about people at all - we talk about qualified people.
If you learn averting on principle find a mistake you will need a lot of years to become qualified. I prefer to buy all the books, magazines issued in the world for VFP. I prefer my programmers to read them and to be with as higher as possible qualification.
I suppose that Nadya will pay lower hr. rate for USA, but it will be much-much more than $5.



>I don't beleive that your argument holds water...
>Being born in India myself, I know, for a fact that the main reason that labour is cheaper in India and some other countries, is that the cost of living is much lower and the number of people available to fill a demand is great.

>That you might encounter cheap prices that have yielded cheap results is more a matter of research/trial and error. You can (and probably will) encounter mediocritry anywhere; you prepare yourself and learn from mistakes.

>A lot of countries benefit from the minds/efforts of people that came to that country to seek a better life?/standard of living (expatriate Indians comes to mind, among others).

>I beleive Nadya has the the right idea: use available resources (yes, even if they are not from your country of residence). It gives those countries peoples a chance to contribute and for both to profit.

>No one country has a monopoly on brilliance and stupidity (and mediocritry).

>>I have a customer, who asks us to alive a project.
>>Before that on the project work Indian programmers. We rewrite most of the code.
