When do we realise Organic Software?

I recently came across this report that talks about the Java Productivity in Indian Developer community comparing against rest of the World. From my personal opinion, although there are star developers in the country, most of them are let down by their employers. I see many of of my friends slogging from 9 till 11pm (some working even weekends), sacrificing their social and family life. The greed of these employers push the intelligent flock into dumbness.

One huge problem with Indians is not knowing to say “NO”!

Developer’s can’t say NO to their boss’s unfair demands, their bosses can’t say NO to their boss’s bosses.. and ultimately the final boss can’t say NO to the client!

If I run a company, I would not have any rules to my employees – they can come any time, work any number of hours,  let them spend their social time with friends, be with family on a Sunday lunch.. :)

I would love to grow software ORGANICALLY! “Organic Software” is my aim!

I am predominantly Java guy working in London, primarily with investment banks and financial organizations. Having worked in enterprise and core Java for the last 12 years, my interests lie in distributed, multi-threaded, n-tier scalable and extensible architectures. I am also experienced in designing and developing high-frequency and low-latency application architectures. I enjoy writing books, technical papers, reviews and is interested in mentoring. When not involved in technical stuff, I do video recording and editing along with DVD authoring (iMovie is my current software - have to move to Final Cut one day!).

    Thanks Sachin for your wishes.

    I am afraid Indian Software has become a kind of rat race! I wish you all the best and let me know how it goes! I am sure you would find good people to work with!

    Thanks

    Congratulations on your great book “Just Spring”.

    I completely agree with your comments on us Indians not being able to say No and how employers both in India and Abroad take undue advantage of that. This certainly is my biggest fear when trying to decide to go back to India for good. What if the boss is not used to his developer saying No to working on all weekends or crazy hours. I am sure I am going to have lot of issues initially till I find the right boss or I am boss myself. But it was nice to know that I am not the only one who thinks it’s not wrong to say No even though you are an Indian developer.
