GitHub has released its annual Octoverse report and India seems to be leading when it comes to developer count. The company has also announced a slew of AI tools.
India’s developer community grows to 13.2 million on GitHub, set to overtake US by 2027: Report
A significant portion of the “developers” in India are essentially low-skill fraudsters. Several large Indian corporations are built on promising western clients technical services and then not delivering anything close to what was promised. It’s a perfectly normal business model in India. (I’m looking at you Infosys)
Can confirm, my company is a Fortune 500 and we employ a large near majority percentage of Indian contractors, and the rest of us developers in us time zones hold their leash in a matter of speaking.
It is infuriating, not everything gets done and what does is done just enough to get thru the door and it’s up to us devs to hold them to task and ensure they write good code. I’ve met and worked with many great Indian developers but they’ve almost entirely been in the US, which breaks that mold you describe
It’s all about squeezing any and all profits out of the process. Paying for skilled developers that can actually work together during similar hours to develop quality software just doesn’t make enough profit apparently
