Overheard today, two Indian developers (supposedly providing lower overall cost as the original local team with same/higher quality), apropos some C# code
Indian 1: "What does this mean 'protected'."
Indian 2: "Where is that?"
Indian 1: "Here: protected void Execute()"
Indian 2: "It is something with the security groups."
These guys have been hired for their C# expertise.
(though you don't really need to know C#, C++, Java, anything at all really.)
When on-shore developers are hired they are subjected to rigorous testing on their language knowledge, architecture skills, seems like the only qualification for the imports is the ability to speak English (and that's debatable, the funny thing is they get assigned to support jobs and the users can't understand them, or at least they haven't got the patience to try).
