Yakov Fain writes (from experience) about good and bad aspects of Russian programmers for outsourcing.
I left Russia well before American companies thought of trusting russian (or indian) programmers. But I remember the software and ingenious hacks written back then by my friends to work with limited computing resources available. I participated in programming competitions and summer camps,where school kids learned and applied concepts that are only taught on advanced level of university education in other countries.
To this day,I claim to have gone through two different schools of programming. One is Russian and one is Australian. And you shouldn’t have to guess (after this article),which one I feel had given me a stronger grounding in what I do daily.
