Indian corporate has problems but this doesn't seem to be true apart from standard background checks (a la HireRight).

Very generous of you to assume "generate" guys are reading code, so IDE and REPL are useless to them.

It does appear to me @HNReply99 just wants to watch pornography? You can do it man, although some on this site may suggest SICP instead, or few radical ones even suggest programming in Rust.

wannabe44··on Jobless tech workers are being left out of San Francisco's AI boom
No. If he was hired some other guy would've not been hired. It would not affect number of positions which were filled.

it's difficult to even treat it as an ordered relation when your luck depends on specific questions and the mood of the interviewer.

wannabe44··on PHP 8.2.35
One more level of isolation can't hurt for PHP.

I thought Railpass must be be a new vulnerability in Rails.

"greeks invented sex but romans introduced women to it" aah argument.
wannabe44··on Every AI model has the same "controversial" take on humans
From 4chan:

People who can't defend themselves physically (women and low T men) parse information through a consensus filter as a safety mechanism. They literally do not ask "is this true", they ask "will others be OK with me thinking this is true". This makes them very malleable to brute force manufactured consensus; if every screen they look at says the same thing they will adopt that position because their brain interprets it as everyone in the tribe believing it. Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical people (hey autists!) are actually free to parse new information with an objective "is this true?" filter.

> If I had to battle 2 hours of Indian traffic just to reach office

The company could have their office in a less congested area. The company could've given work-from-home option. The employee could've rented home near to the office. The employee could've got a cab. All Indian problems are self inflicted. Why should every company have it's office in "Bellandur" and "Marathalli"? In a self-respecting civilization, a professional earning in top 5% of the population wouldn't even want to step into such slums.

In any case, the reluctance to do proper automation and testing stems from pure lack of knowledge of good practices and hubris. Because it's going to increase velocity compared to not doing it.

> This is also racists.

Just noting an observation. These are not outsourcing agencies but GCCs of American and European companies. They had complete option to automate things or fix security defects. They simply didn't know what they were doing was wrong.

I don't mean to imply all Indians are incompetent. There was significant contribution from India to computer science. It's just that the ratio of competent to incompetent people is low. This is on your education and hiring systems.

Nobody likes Sundar at Google. Rest of the Indian CEOs (IBM, Adobe) are unremarkable bean counters. Satya is defensible but it can be argued the stage for his success was set during Balmer. (Dan Luu wrote about this).

You seem to have an axe against current Indian regime which is not even outside the overton window. I suggest to not get your information from liberal-arts educated islamophile journalists who are struggling to pay off their loans.

IME the number of manual processes which are bug-prone and faulty in Indian teams is higher than normal, and so is the reluctance to any form of automated testing, and general unawareness about any security or licensing concerns.

But what matters is that it was all memory safe and had no data races.

Infra folks can absolutely build self-service UIs and I have seen it being done even before AI, for instance using low-code tools.
