Shanghai Starts Up

A company of talented Chinese programmers is designing software that
rivals Silicon Valley's best. And at about one third the cost.
By Steven Levy
Newsweek
June 12, 2006 issue - The Shanghai Pudong Software Park didn't exist a
few years ago. Now about 20,000 programmers negotiate traffic jams
every day to get there. Throngs of former school math champs file into
boxy buildings to rabbit hutches and workstations, doing the high-tech
programming jobs that used to belong to Americans-the jobs that
weren't supposed to go offshore but are now commonly outsourced here or
to India. The so-called good jobs.

It's certainly a win-win ....
With talented Chinese programmers competing with India's eq-
ually talented ones, consumers of s/w will benefit. This, should
dramatically increase the s/w productivity of Silicon Valley. For
a very long time, s/w development and productivity are, fair to
say, oxymoronic.
Unfortunately the author failed to address China's IPR violations.
And bad documentation due to language barrier is also another
serious hinderance to s/w development in the PRC. Until the two
issues are addressed in a satisfactory manner, India will have a
commanding lead.
Lower cost nothwithstanding ....
