Fresh gems popping up everywhere...
Host: "Welcome, Mr. Kirin"
Kiro: "Actually... you found me even sooner than expected"🤣
Kiro: "...and since I also spend my time surfing the web"🤣 🤣

I actually have faith in Vukic—I’d give him a shot. Caleb was out of commission for a long time, and honestly, he’s already 33...
goldenpuma10 said:Look, let me give you a real-world example—I’m working as a C++ dev at a major tech firm—and what we estimate will take us a month, an Indian conglomerate will confidently claim they can knock out in four. Then the manager wanders in and goes, "Yeah, but they're seven times cheaper than you guys." So, the work gets shipped off to India, takes five months because—surprise, surprise—they lie just to land the contract, and then during user testing, a mountain of bugs surfaces. They end up tossing it all back to us—the "expensive" team—to fix because the folks in India completely missed the core objective of the project. We spend three weeks fixing it—basically rebuilding half the thing from scratch.
Then the manager has the nerve to walk in and say, "I don't get why you can't stay within budget; next project is being fully outsourced to India." (And he actually thinks *we* were the ones who botched the job.)
goldenpuma10 said:If you want to know about their work ethic or actual skill level, just ask any employer if they’d be willing to pay an Indian engineer the same rate as a Western engineer. I mean, if they were truly equal in value and quality, why wouldn't anyone pay them the same?
swiftscout8 said:Indian companies can be total amateurs. Honestly, you have to watch your back with them. First, they reel you in with all this slick marketing nonsense, and by the time you realize you've been played, the damage is already done... You really need to cover yourself with every legal safeguard and contract imaginable, otherwise, there's no coming back. Once you realize they sold you a beat-up old Ford when you thought you were getting a Mercedes, it's game over.
James Doyle24 said:I don't think Indians are anything but incredibly driven when they're working for themselves. A huge chunk of the successful entrepreneurs across East Africa and the Middle East are Indian—and honestly, it’s been that way for the last century.
It’s hardly a coincidence that the massive software giants are moving their operations over to India—everything from Microsoft and the rest of them.
IMHO, it boils down to an entrepreneurial mindset (among the upper castes), plus there's the fact that almost everyone literate speaks English, all while labor remains dirt cheap.
I was watching this thing on TV about how an English telemarketing firm operates out of India. They’re making calls to potential customers in England (!) selling them just about anything. It's actually cheaper for them to pay for long-distance calls than it is to hire actual Englishmen for the job.
Emily Taylor3 said:But the real question is—why do Jews actually pursue education?
Is it just a cultural difference—in the broadest sense—and if so, what is it? What are they getting out of their upbringing and mindset that makes them recognize the need for hard work and actual schooling—you know, doing something tangible—instead of that urge to just sit around, drink coffee all day, and whine about how unfair life is? 😬 .
It’s pretty obvious Americans could use a serious software upgrade 😁 , though even the Jewish model isn't perfect; people tend to idealize them mostly because everyone else is such a disaster. 🙄
dustywalker12 said:Who actually claims that India is some tiny 🤣
little place? I'm pretty sure there's as much variety in India as there is anywhere else on the planet
I don't know nearly enough people there to make sweeping generalizations about the whole country
Jonathan Morales79 said:Stereotypes aside,
Indians are incredibly hardworking and dedicated—not to mention the Chinese—though you can't overlook the educated professionals from Canada and Romania either. They’re absolute workaholics and honestly, pretty intimidating competition.
Emily Taylor3 said:Alright, does anyone actually get what's going on with the Indian mentality—is it just how they're wired, or is it some kind of hardwired software issue in their heads?
You can find a solid worker anywhere—the Appalachian Mountains, India, Egypt, the USA, even parts of Africa—but finding one in India feels like an uphill battle.
Anyone else noticed this, or am I just imagining things?
Sean Hernandez13 said:just kidding man... still stuck in holiday mode over here, plus I'm basically counting down the days until my raise hits...
za-gor-te-nej said:I'm with you—I mean, where are the Eastern Orthodox Americans in this whole narrative?
goldenbison4 said:I have to disagree with that. Our goalkeeping situation is pretty thin right now—especially Jerkovich. Hopefully, they'll pull it together before the World Cup starts.
Serse Cosmi said:there wasn't even anything funny about the game today. just endless short passes and even more turnovers. anyone watching on TV probably saw the stats—our turnover count was pretty damn high, if you ask me.
