> Why do indian programmers ask for code in Usenet (particularly Google > groups) ?
Most Indian programmers were never supposed to be programmers. They simply lack the cognitive skills required to be in the business. Yet they are the ones who work for large/medium/small software service companies. So when they face a problem, they have absolutely no clue as to where to look for solutions. They also have no idea about the various programming communities and their modus operandi. They just join some random group and ask for solutions (it's akin to asking for some software in some shareware group). The problem is also inside the organisations; people who ask their seniors questions are deemed to be fools, etc. I think there is no solution to this specific problem. It's more of a culture issue. Unless and until parents let their children do whatever they want and the society treats people from all professions equally, people will keep flocking into the most fashionable profession of that decade. Computer programming is on its way out... management is much more fashionable now; the only difference is that a programmer's work revolves around the Internet and the Internet never forgets :) Regards, BG -- Baishampayan Ghose b.ghose at gmail.com _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
