Fun Fact. Lee Kuan Yew was a computer scientist before becoming politican and coded solving sudoku and shared his code over github also mentioned he wanted to learn haskell. Looks like computer scientists would make great politican's once elected but getting elected requires a different set of skills, luckily for Lee Kuan his father paved the way before him.
India has a similar situation. All the south Indian states are demanding to be declared as separate nation. One of the Singapore's official language is Tamil whose origin is an south Indian state TamilNadu. Singapore is taken as a motivation to demand a separate nation.
You did not say it explicitly but your comment hints that indian devs are below mediocre. I will share my perspective as a native guy. My experience is 15 years in dev(mostly c++) experience worked in 6 different companies and have taken up contract gigs in erlang and android(writing ejabberd extensions). Infosys, wipro, tcs and other service based companies have really below mediocre dev's. But other than that the enterprise org's such as emc square, oracle, hp etc have dev's from mediocre to good. The Big Four company dev's (especially amazon) are definitely above mediocre. One observation is while working at enterprise org's i have never seen any 10x people(like the admiration type) on the US or European companies. Only read peoples blog posts. So it seems the 10x people only exist at Big Four or they move there quickly before.
Intelligent and hardworking but still don't want to take responsibilities of raising children as it takes too much time. Then sperm donation looks like a nice option.
Some years ago in one of RMS interviews he told the seller should not remain private but the buyers privacy must be protected. So his views has never changed.
The BJP(current government) has neither the brains and nor the motivation to develop the country. All they want to do is get the country back to the vedic period(which is nothing but denting the education to the majority of the people).The leader of the party Modi was in the ads(jio) publicly. It was a public announcement by the corporate to the other organizations that they own the government. Also this same government banned the beef. This government is more like trump focusing on religious hatred for votes and nothing more that that(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gujarat_riots was led by the current leader and prime minister of the party).
This post gives the impression to the reader that RMS had put his ego first and then rationalized it with fsf philosophy.From what i had read online he was pissed off when the printer manufacturer at MIT stopped sharing the source code to modify the software and he has formed(or thought about it and discovered) his philosophical leanings at that time. Very soon symbolics was formed developing closed source software and he was invited to it. But he believed strongly in his philosophy and was working hard to keep the free software up to date which symbolics was developing. Also the symbolics engineer had told in one of the interviews they were 5 people and RMS single handedly was keeping up with them. So the conclusion i had was he was 5x capable to the symbolics engineers (who are very smart people) and if he was that capable he could have become rich easily, but due to his strong philosophical belief he sacrificed his life for the greater good. If you have the links to the contrary please share.
Krishna and his super power and other avatars of krishna is a belief and Buddha's existence is a recorded fact. Ganesha's references are found in the literature only after the existence of Buddha. That's why no reference to ganesha is found in vedas.
All the states in india have the practice of people having their caste name as their surname except in the state of Tamilnadu(about 70 million population). This was due to one atheist man's effort who opposed the caste system Periyar(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periyar_E._V._Ramasamy). He broke the ganesha statue on the day of buddha's birthday as an act of protesting the use of ganesha to instigate the religious violence for political benefits. Ganesha was created to stop people from converting to buddhism. That's why ganesha was always found under the palm tree which is buddha's place. Also ganesha statue is made gigantic and is taken in to streets and made more entertaining festival inorder to create more merriness and keep people more engaged and not to feel left out. But at the same time Ganesha statue is disolved in water after about 10 days, this is beacause the non-brahmin people who were allowed to do the priest duty for 10 days should not become a competion to the brahmin priests.
Paying more is the one real way to keep good software devs. Everything else is secondary. The real problem is every companay big or small is under risk of getting vanished. So software devs are looking the jobs like a sprint and not a marathon. Don't get this wrong, improving the skills and learning new languages are constantly practised by good devs but money is the real motive to stay.
People who were procrastinators and have found a trick or technique that has worked in the long run and have who have made lots of progress please share
Any indian who has some understanding of veda and caste system will immediately identify the problem here. It is run by singhs and singhs are not hindus by that i mean they discard varna system, vedas and caste system. The current government BJP is a strong religious organization with Brahmins in key positions who have lots to lose if caste system is abolished. The move by the indian BJP government is to progress hindutva ideology.
