That didn't take long, did it? Of course, everyone starts out somewhere. 
It's just that we outsource these projects to save all this money 
(supposedly). So, Satyam takes this newbie, puts him on a project where he's 
still learning RPG. Do the clients know that they're paying good money to 
essentially train this person? I highly doubt it. They'll realize it after 
it's too late.

I never said my programs are perfect. I gained my knowledge like everyone 
else does, education and experience. Someday, S.Chand may well turn into 
someone who can answer questions on this list - more power to him/her.

But, listen to *my* reality: U.S. companies will get, and are getting, 
burned by outsourcing mission-critical apps to India and any other country 
with cheap labor. In the end, they will recognize their mistakes, and pull 
that development back to the U.S. Who gets to clean up that crap? So, my 
complaint is not with the S.Chand's of the third world, it is with U.S. 
companies who will eventually reap what they sow. I actually appreciate that 
he posted his question to the list, if only to show us the flawed 
assumptions on out-sourcing.

And, BTW, S.Chand is no isolated example. If you've been on the lists for 
awhile, you see a lot of examples like this.
