But quality ones are quite low.

Apple has set yet another trend with these bussy overview slides.

You accidentally added a letter there and the meaning of your comment has changed dramatically.

Accidentally? Damn. I wanted to see these slides!

Apple didn’t start that trend, tf?

Yeah, not surprised. Everyone looks at China, US, Russia, EU, ambiguous “global south”, etc. Far too people are watching the new upcoming global superpower, fully entering the information age (and corresponding skill-based economy) with a full head of steam (and the air quality to prove it), that never made the mistake of a one child policy.
The real reason China cannot afford to try attacking Taiwan without a very high chance of a quick success. Their actual greatest competitor, that could easily displace their regional position. That maintains careful diplomacy with other powers, not really alienating anyone.
It’s a clever strategy, ideally suited to swoop in and take advantage of any Chinese errors. Pretty much anywhere they make one.

I laugh at this spending the last 30 years dealing with indian firms and contractors, good luck world!

Things can change fast these days. It’s a function of your ability to improve your methodologies, and it’s about setting yourself up for success through hard work and trying to improve. Not just being magically perfect from day one.

A significant portion of the “developers” in India are essentially fraudsters. Several large Indian corporations are built on promising western clients technical services and then not delivering anything close to what was promised. (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
