New code is easy

You'd have to be more specific. I've seen both ends of the spectrum. Wouldn't say everything is crappy now. To be honest, most of the crappy architectures I've seen were developed by old-school Fortran guys not knowing how to use c++ or modern OO paradigms. Or had something to do with web technology. Everything touching a web browser seems to be poorly architechted.

Anything java and js. Of course you could before defend java before due to superior sandboxing, but not much more.

Shoot man, I can't even stand the site of the code I wrote a year ago. :)

Same here. Looking at my code from last year which I since refactored (mind you, it was perfectly functional) it's as if I'm looking at a turd.
 
I like how the agile companies are doing things - giving young coders pizza, coke (no, not that kind) and a pat on the back for staying up until 5AM to solve an issue. All the marketing, management and other folks are out the door by 4:50 in the afternoon.

Gotta capitalize on those 2-5 yrs when the young mind is more ambitious than bitter. Before they realize that being good at your job and working hard isn't enough to produce exceptional results

Hey now, I make quids (bux), but can't seem to hold onto them. As for coding? Last time I coded, it was a sound loop using POKE commands on an Atari 800. In BASIC. LOL

How many good Indian developers do you know? I personally know not a single one and heard of very few. A greatly overrated culture in the IT field if you ask me. 99% of Indian IT people have dabbled a little in web design and sql.

The key is to bring something to the table in addition to being able to code. Coding is easy, in general. That's why Indians do it for basically free. Architecture nd engineering are not. Be an engineer who can code, not just a coder, if you want to stick around for awhile.

Same here, have worked with Russians, Ukrainians, Hungarians and Romanians and have gotten way better results than with any Indians. Am talking about outsourcing and remote collaboration.

None. I've had terrible luck with them. They always say yes, but never deliver. Ukrainians is where I've had success
