Is using Microsoft Excel. same as developing Microsoft Excel? No!

Is using Websphere, Oracle, IntelliJ IDEA, Perforce same as developing them? No!

Is using Struts, Spring, Hibernate, EJB, Dojo, DWR same as developing them? No!

Guess what? These Products & Frameworks didn’t fall from the sky one day! Some real people developed them. As a Programmer, would you rather be developing one of these or using them for some repetitive, monotonous project?

You might think that there are only so many Frameworks and not everybody can get a chance to work on them. Well, there are 37 Frameworks just for JavaScript! So, you can guess how many Frameworks will be there if we combine all the technologies.

In fact, these new Frameworks are coming at such a pace that by the time you know about them, they are already outdated!

Then there are millions of Plugins & Extensions for these. Everyday I hear about a new Plugin or Extension in the Blogs that I read.

But if everybody starts working on these cool stuff, who is going to create Enterprise Applications? That’s what India is for! That’s what companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and hundreds of other companies in India do. They have millions of employees who are more than happy to use Products and Frameworks developed in US to work on projects for Clients based in US! Its their bread & butter. Now, you wouldn’t want to take food out of their mouth, would you? (chuckle)

US on the other hand is supposed to provide them all the tools. Have you ever heard of a universally accepted Product or Framework coming out of India! They are not going to develop them. Its none of their business.

So, lets not disrupt this perfectly balanced ecosystem. Lets just stick with developing Products, Frameworks, Plugins, Extensions, whatever we can do to make life of people in India easier.(smirk)

Outsourcing might have started as a means to save money. But, in fact, it was a very clever strategy to send all the dirty jobs to India so that US can concentrate on all the cool stuff.
