Glusterfs comes to mind. Some of the code from that project is simply way out of the ballpark. Check the 'continuation across network' macro in one of the C header files, if you don't want to take my word for it. It's more sophisticated than anything else that I've seen in a long long time. The stereotypes you are referring to exist but they are not the one and only rule. And weasel words ('the safety device') are no…

@jacquesm Strange that you use GlusterFS as an example.Yes they are technically sophisticated but then I know the CTO of ZResearch (the company offering commercial support for GlusterFS), Anand Babu, personally and he is a good friend. Some of the people who wrote the core code are Indians (including Anand) who live in the United States . Do they have an office in Bangalore? Sure they do. This is the "ODC" model I re…

I would also like to state that I agree with you on most points. I am an Indian, trying to do a startup in India.

Anand Babu lives in the US, but Anand Avati (and others) work out of BLR. I have known them for quite some time and I think Avati is one of the best Engineers I have met in my life. The kind of work they do is also awesome. I don't see ZR as an American company outsourcing easy work to India.

"Anand Babu lives in the US,"

And that is what I said.

"I have known them for quite some time and I think Avati is one of the best Engineers I have met in my life."

I don't know Mr.Avati. I will gladly take your word for it.

" I don't see ZR as an American company outsourcing easy work to India."

This is a matter of perception. We don't have to agree completely to respect each others' opinion. With respect to ZR in particular (vs the Indian software industry in general) I only claim that ZR is an American company with an Indian office. No more. I am well aware of the talent level of AB and his colleagues.

The difference in perception between Jacques and me is on whether ZR is an American company or an Indian startup. I respect his opinion while sticking to mine. And ZR doesn't invalidate the point I made anyway (which was that ZR is an exception, not the rule.)

http://www.presencetelecare.com/ is looking for a lead engineer (first technical employee). Details at http://presencetelecare.com/careers#1226ffb63eb89022_OLE_LIN... I'm not affiliated with them, but I know the founders are looking high and low for the right person.

I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere on the site, but where are they based out of? I have a friend whose sister is autistic and whose mother became a speech pathologist because she couldn't find any "good" ones in the area (and have done some technical work there in the past). However, I'm one of those unwilling to relocate right now types.

I have one or more openings for the role of 'entity that pays cash or equity in exchange for me helping them'. I offer several benefits, the primary of which is excellent code and craftsmanship from someone who's a true geek and been programming for over 25 years. Readers of HN will get special consideration. Bonus points if you allow me to work with Python, Clojure, Linux or iPhone, and work from home (most or all of the time; though occasional travel and on-site meetings are cool.) For more info and the means to "apply" see the link in my profile. I am serious.

Directi are doing some very interesting things. They're not VC funded, but that's because they've been profitable from day one. They've also started recruiting from outside India.

I say this with some trepidation since I am not familiar with Directi first hand, but having seen their job ads once too often now, I would like to know what exactly are the "interesting things" they are doing?

Based on their products page (http://directi.com/products/) Other than one "pre launch" product that will do instant messaging and free email, their entire business seems to be built around "landing pages" for domain parking companies.
