[QUOTE="mathrisk, post: 1605872, member: 18969"] Being into IT in India - there's a vast difference between Service based and product based companies. All the Indian giants - TCS, Infy. WIpro, Patni, CTS, Satyam etc etc - are Service based. And 'most' of such projects are maintenance kinda activity. Most, not all. And so, there's hardly any new code. Also, the companies commit very less time for project delivery - just to impress the 'clients' which results in employees slogging - like you read above - till 3/4am or overnight or weekend. And with this 'impress' thing comes the 'uniform' or dress code (formal from tip to toe everyday - etc etc). The other big companies - Oracle, Adobe, Google etc etc are product based companies And the new code comes from there. I was working for a product development in a service based company (Finacle by Infosys - its a banking software.) I wrote thousands of lines of code (K-LOC [img]http://www.techenclave.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongu23e.gif[/img]) - but most of them in particular framework - a black box for outsiders - so nothing counts. Now working in some different company/project - and its all copy-paste. [/QUOTE]
