"...outsourced code will never be able to compete with passionate code". From Bad programmers, bad designers.
...or so they say...

interesting that. In the early days of outsourcing the general consensus in the West was that Indians are doing the crap stuff no one else will do - which is only a demonstration of ignorance. If you don't know the basics you will never know the complex stuff, and you only get better with experience. I even read a Salon article that said they should be training the homeless instead of outsourcing the jobs.
And I remember a friend, ex IITian explaining to me how programming is incredibly creative, and coming up with the most elegant solution is what gives hom most satisfaction. And that even if the job is done, there can be good code and bad code.
Looks like Americans are coming around to that view as well. Well better late than never, but you know what we got a head start.
outsourcing whether to india or your own backyard is still shoving off the crap to someone else - which again is a value perception - what really is crap? if your toilets are not - to abuse a word - engineered well you will have shit floating in your living room. period.
passion for coding is a techie thing. cuts across geographies and cultures. we indians are only just about starting to see the limitless expanse of coding heaven. cleartrip is just the beginning. the real coder rockstars are yet to come :-) - remember ramanujan?
