Does India have a scarcity of good programmers?
This is a very common problem that I have heard from many people. Probably programming is not considered a cool job in india. Most good programmers (and bad also) want to become people manager.I don’t blame them also. We have grown to this stage merely because of outsourcing. In low value programming, quality does not matter much. So most people want to become manager and do only talking. That is very scary. In that case India can never build good products.My only hope is freshers and young engineer from universities. They haven’t yet been spoiled by our current system. Hopefully more and more innovation come from them.What I can tell to these computer science graduates is that they need to think about innovation. They should not become slave of some programming language or a particular platform. Continuously ask yourself how can computer science be used to make our society better. If the world need products build in javascript/XML then why only learn C++. You should be able to learn anything quickly and provide your employer a solution which he never even thought about.
