Disclaimer: I have met, and worked with a ton of brilliant people of Indian descent. I am in no way bigoted, and am not lumping people into a barrel because of their nationality. This is merely a list of things that piss me off about having to bid against "outsourced", or "overseas" development teams.

And we're off...

5) People who have dealt with Indian development teams in the past now think that they can get $5,000 worth of work for $50.

So I work at an Applebees as a hostess and yesterday a bunch of old people walk in -- six of them. I ask this lady if a table is good and I get no real response so I ask again and she goes, "Fine, fine" like it's some big fucking chore just to answer me. So I move these heavy tables, set up the chairs, and fix it when this guy goes, "I get in and out of a booth much easier!" Fuck you.
I then have to move the tables and wait for these people to slide in the biggest booth we have (made for 10) and then go and deal with more idiots.

About a month ago, when I was struggling to keep the family fed, I got this lead on a job. I think he found me through a post to craigslist for a "simple" site. Sounded pretty promising from the start. The guy was "losing money with the site down", cuz it was "just hacked", and "needed it done in three days". Clearly this was a bigger package than the "simple site".
