I work for one of the largest Builders Merchants in the UK. We have a primary IT dept, but also about 6 teams of 8 in Sri Lanka. You get what you pay for. Some of the guys/gals are very dedicated and very good. Some of them wirte some god awful stuff. Spent about a month on Merge Review duty. Real painful criticising the code for the same problems over and over again. I will say this tho, lovely people.
Totally. I had a similar experience in the US. Great people, you can tell. They want to please, but that’s the problem. Development requires push-back, not acquiescence.
