The document discusses comparisons between developers in different countries. It provides perspectives from developers in countries like Australia, Poland, Switzerland, South Africa, Brazil, India, and Singapore on how they compare themselves to the best developers worldwide. Key points included scarcity of developers, cost, focus on innovation, skills, teamwork, and reasons for developers to stay or leave their home countries. The document also discusses factors to consider when comparing technology, people, processes, software architecture and infrastructure between companies and countries.

11. How would you describe developers in your
own country in 10 or fewer words ?
How do you think developers in your country
compare to the best in the world ?
12. Australia
Expensive, perfectionists, edge, snobs, scarce, arrogant (sometimes), leaving.
“Very good in the main. They stay focused on latest tech and love all the new
platforms that are emerging. Very scarce so hard to find at a decent price. We
tend to scale out of Australia for this reason.”
13. Poland
hardworking, innovative, courageous, enterprising, open-minded, communicative, team players, clever
early-adopters, good mathematical and physical background, particularly strong in algorithmics
“They are in TOP 5 countries in algorithms. Polish IT market is more than enough to satisfy needs of
best performers - 70% IT guys prefer to stay in Poland”
“As we can see in different competitions polish developers are world class. That's why there are a lot
of polish developers in companies such as Google, Apple or Facebook”
14. Switzerland
qualitative, expensive, organized, correct, long term thinking, low-maintenance-
code-writer, well engineered, high educated
“security/quality in multiple dimensions first, innovation and speed second.”
15. Passionate, hard working, and they love their careers.
Scarce, conscientious, one-language passion, corporate, career-oriented,
make it work.
“SA developers don't stand back when competing on the world stage. They are
open to opportunities and are keen to go and learn and come back.”
“Methodical but not always innovative. Like to learn, but often lacking an
academic background.”
South Africa
16. Brazil
creative, expensive, opinionated, team players, hard workers, conference
goers, trend followers
“Developers in Brazil are fast at adopting new standards, and passionate about
being cutting edge. They are more creative than average, and more expensive
too.”
17. India
Academic, usually good in algorithms/mathematical concepts, Innovative
(Incrementally) but also tailored to taking instructions, normally sticks to
timeline given, code quality not a high priority, system fundamentals not too
strong, normally seen lacking focus.
“ The difference is in approach to solve a problem. The best of programmers
dares to discard their academic training and takes total new untested and weird
routes..resulting in new concepts/innovations. This is lacking for most
programmers in India”
18. Singapore
need instructions, expensive, scarce, sincere and focused, strong in
fundamentals, academic
“Although there is a fair degree of innovative approaches..its mostly
incremental. Most stick to tried and tested approaches.”
50. Comparative Notes
● Scarce - as everywhere else
● Leaving
● Little concern for security
● Architecture as it happens (but true for many startups)
● Little documentation
● Sometimes have to reinvent the wheel
● Acknowledge the worth of local knowledge
51. What does the future hold ?
IEEE - 2015 trends
● Hardware - wearables, IoT, 3D Printing
● Security
● SDx
● Augmented Reality
● Predictive Analytics
