    You know ... THEY, THEM, the master race, the top people who control us all. We are but mere puppets ..... or something like that

    being an expert in a field needs the right attitude and self study. very few certifications can get you to be better at that.
    That's you buggered then

    Excellent thanks, that was what I was going for ,a grown up point of view not appearing like a nasty little racist who judges ability based on someone's lineage.

    I have worked with a small number of Indian chaps who are technically my equal or even superior but that is the same for most nationalities I have worked with.

    However I have met a lot of Indian nationals who are clearly put forward as experts but have no clue, this is a function of the business methods of Indian Universities who apparently are free with degree certificates sold to wealthier citizens and Body shops who just want a bum on seat.

    You can't blame the individuals as they are glad to have the opportunity because they get rock star like wages (or at least they did until the consultancies moved to cheaper climes).

    My experience is there are plenty of stupid and annoying indians but there are plenty of clever ones too. Just like most other cultures.

    Maybe a good part of english schools take people in for the credit scheme that their own government enabled.

    My intent was not to be racist just to say the truth as I see it.

    You are the 'woke' characted seeing issues where there aren't any and falling pray to the same narratives promoted by the establishment to distract and undermine and control what people think.

    The discussion was not about that.

    I'll repeat here what you said.

    I've seen a few CS degrees that had barely any math in them. no complex subjects only some 'projects' and feel good classes.
    No wonder they are getting replaced by indians.


    Racist.

    what does QED mean?

    quantum electrodynamics in relation to what you do as contractor and previous conversation?

    or

    "quod erat demonstrandum" - what was to be shown


    can you tell me to 'go back where you came from' in latin? Honestly I would quite appreciate that. It would be quite unique ))

    the question for me is how are you an highly educated contractor and part of the upper echelons of this society. How did you get there being... yourself?

    I might be totally wrong about how people are selected in this country...
