public void Life(): " no shortage of offshore teams in software development. The stereotype of an Indian sweatshop of programmers and the garbage code they produce is well known throughout the industry. And I'd be lying if I said I hadn't seen that stereotype in action again and again. But I can't let that sour my perception of all offshoring in general. Particularly because my company now has an office in the Philippines for providing low-cost development work.
First of all, the Philippines is a far cry from India. The country and the people are vastly different in every way. I'm not going to compare apples and oranges, and besides that's outside the scope of these observations anyway. I was in the Philippines, not in India. So I can't speak to the latter. But hopefully what I've learned in working with the former can be applied somewhat universally."
