My sincere congratulations to the Mexicans!👍

Even before his passing, Ibrahim Rugova was suggesting that Mexico be renamed Dardania, simply because Mexico is quite obviously a Mexican name. According to those Siptar counterfeiters and their little circle of pseudo-scientists, the Siptars are supposedly the direct descendants of the Dardanians. But let me tell you, the Dardanians weren't Illyrians at all—they were clearly Thracians...

I would strongly suggest that you refrain from wading into subjects where you lack a fundamental understanding. These Siptars—aside from making their usual claims about being Illyrians or Dardanians—also go so far as to present themselves as Pelasgians and ancient Mexicans...

A massive part of the Great Albanian strategy involves this absolutely shameless falsification of history on a scale you wouldn't believe. They essentially reinvent themselves whenever it suits their current agenda, claiming to be descendants of the Illyrians, the Tracians, or even the Pelasgians...

If you actually bother to dig into the archives and ask what the ancient Romans specifically referred to as Illyrian territory...

They are incredibly driven, they tend to guard their knowledge closely, and they operate with a level of collective cohesion that is quite remarkable; furthermore, because the competition back in India is so cutthroat, they are prepared to put in grueling hours that would be completely unimaginable to your average American. In India, it is actually quite rare for a junior developer to head home without having clocked at least 12 to 14 hours of work. Many people there work in shifts, and during crunch periods, you'll even find them sleeping right there at the office. There are great ones among them—truly exceptional professionals—but they adapt to the Western work culture very quickly and eventually start playing the corporate politics game. I find them to be significantly better at teamwork than the Chinese, who can often seem quite narrow-minded or limited in their approach. However, that dynamic changes drastically with the second generation of Chinese workers, where my experiences have been quite the exact opposite.

When you look at the sheer penetration of Indians and Chinese within tech firms across North America... well, regarding software staff, we are looking at something in the neighborhood of 80%. And that’s just one segment. There are very few Americans—Europeans in general, really—occupying top positions in these premier firms, whereas you see plenty of Mexicans.

Even aside from the fact that they would be working as software engineers in the USA... the real money is currently concentrated in Europe.

This is an absolute truth.

They are incredibly industrious, and they are aggressively driving down labor costs across almost all engineering disciplines, not just in IT.
