Many of the large enterprises we work for did move software engineering work from HCOL locations in Europe or the US to India, often with disastrous results.

On Teams, channels related to AI are flooded with daily support requests from supposed engineers from India who clearly are not competent enough to set up GitHub Copilot or properly report issues they encounter during the setup.

And don't get me started on the shared libraries some teams located in India work on. If the library I need to use is full of obvious bugs where I wonder how any competent engineer could have shipped this to production, and then I see that the work has been moved to India, how am I supposed to feel about this?

Do we really need to sugarcoat this?
