Well, it seems that outsourcing to India is over. Now it's 
outsourcing to Eastern Europe. 2/3 of the developers in my 
company reside in a country in Eastern Europe. In my previous 
country that ratio was even higher. The CTO wasted a lot of money 
(because not talking to his people who would have told him) and 
then had to look for ways to compensate for the losses.

I once followed a phone conversation between a C++ developer in 
India and C++ developers in Germany. The developer in India 
thought those in Germany were stupid and not getting it while the 
developers in Germany tried to explain to him that they were not 
stupid, but that he was missing some detail. Seems to me that 
outsourcing development in a very difficult language such as C++ 
does not work. But as what "simpler" languages are concerned such 
as Java or C# it is currently happening at full high.

The dream about systems programming is starting to fade away. 
There are only very few jobs for it. And the dream about 
application development is fading away, too. But illusions are 
here to stay ;-).
