the debate about the quality of Indian developers is one that is unending. Again and again we have heard that Indian developers are third class coders, who are unimaginative and most of the time clueless. But then we have also heard, and seen, how Indian developers and computer science engineers rule Silicon Valley and work on some of the most prestigious and widely used tech services and products in the world. Robert Baptiste, a French security researcher who goes by name of Elliot Anderson on Twitter, is latest to add his voice to this debate and he has a very low opinion of most Indian developers.Now, before we come to what Baptiste said on his Twitter feed, here is our quick introduction to him: In India, or at least among the tech savvy Indian Twitter users, he is known for challenging and taunting UIDAI, the agency that looks after Aadhaar. Baptiste found several bugs in India’s Aadhaar project and deemed it shoddy as far as security, privacy and cyber safety is concerned.Now, Baptiste has a few things to say about Indian developers. Last night, he tweeted, “angry I use to work with Indian developers and sometimes it’s very painful. Seriously, you are a senior developer and you don’t know how to use git? You are a backend developer and you don’t know how to do a curl request?”.
