Another reason to learn python: outsourcing insurance

« H E python :: open source :: email

Looks like they won't be outsourcing your python job to India soon ;) (via Planet Sugar) When I was in India it was clear people were reluctant to work for a small company, there was much pride in being a Java-drone at a large company. Perhaps this is similar to languages. Where is the pride in knowing python if half the people you talk to (who are technical) don't even know what it is?

This is sad. I am in India. And I know the situation. This is due to the larger attitude of Indian programmers looking at their job as a labor, and not as a passion. When someone who is interviewing me says he does not know what Python is, or makes fun of Python; I would have made my decision: I am not going to work with such an idiot.
