when i did unix admin poo poo during the overnight shift at [very large shipping company] a h1b coder guy drove to the office in the middle of the night and begged me to put his revised code straight onto production machines because he realized what he wrote the day before had some massive flaw that would cause huge delays and result in caged packages, missed commitments, etc & lead to his certain termination and a flight back to mumbai. I was like sorry bud that's against policy & went back to making excellent posts :twisted:

if you work with h1bs never help them and always do whatever you can to make them gently caress up (it's not hard) unless you want to be training one how to do your job one day. or just get the gently caress out of tech it's bad for your mind and body

There's a massive [for us] intranet application we maintain that's got a bunch of that poo poo in it, and whenever I go in there, every time I see it I think about how much work it'd be to refactor it and that I can't really dedicate resources to doing that, but gently caress

But, in scenes broadcast in advance of the premiere of the film, India’s Daughter, Mukesh Singh showed little remorse and suggested his victim would not have been killed if she had not fought back against her attackers.

He said: “A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy … A decent girl won’t roam around at nine o’clock at night … Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes.”

yeah ive worked with indian dudes in a corporate environment and also now in a small business support environment and they are pretty cool all around, about as retarded or as good at their job as anyone else. half the time i call Microsoft they school me or i spend a few hours on the phone until im kicked up to someone who can fix sharepoint or whatever

sage wisdom. the only place in tech where you don't feel totally soulless is marketing. and even then, you die a little on the inside when you work in it.

do you mean marketing as in the weird social media voodoo where they analyze how people are "engaging with brands" and poo poo or marketing as in making tv commercials for oracle. if it's the first thing idk how people can do that and still be people at the end of the day it sounds terrible

I've never had a problem with an Indian guy on the phone except they sometimes REALLY want to commit to the fact they're not in India and when I get it out of them I act all amazed because it IS pretty amazing there's a guy on the other side of the planet who's on call to help me with stuff at the drop of a hat.

Wasn't it a Indian Customer Support that created one of the funniest hosed up Stars Wars Online stories?

There was a day one patch problem, affecting everyone nearly. And SWO had two tech support levels, one in Ireland and one in Asia somewhere, probably India. The Asia guys dealt with the low level problems and if serious passed it over the Ireland center.
And one of the Asia support guys gave a 20 step self file editing solution to the problem, that no one publicly knew about, and once the Ireland center found about it they threatened the player with a ban!
For getting a solution to his problem!

Can't find it in a google search, hope someone remembers it in more detail.
