The only thing that makes India competitive is the price of developers. As for the code, it is utter garbage. I waste hours sifting through bad code in offshore PRs. Then I spend more hours explaining why security checks should never be relied on, solely in Javascript, which they try to excuse and bs their way out of fixing, resulting in me recording videos of myself hacking up the DOM and JS in less than 5 seconds, bypassing their "security".
Agreed......and your scenario is happening in many industries (tech, engineering, healthcare, military...etc) with many foreign countries. With the current ‘outsourcing’ trend, the importance of any corporate patriotism has all but vanished, mostly due to a short sighted view of the bottom line.
I didn’t mean to imply the current ‘foreign’ competition (and outsourcing) was fair, healthy, or good. Just that it has made a mess of things for a newb getting into the industry as was the case with the original post / story.
