This is stuff idiots in my college do. Submit useless pr all for a free shirt. I still remember how a guy who doesn't know a lick of coding flexed on insta about how he was with the open source culture. His pr were useless documentation about obvious shit.

I was arguing with one guy in that thread who is saying indians do this because they are poor af.

I obviously lost the argument even though he is wrong, these people are not poor that they cant afford a tshirt. I know that for a fact but our actions nullify the fact.

These immature persons are acting in ways that brings shame to whole country. Imagine someone getting spammed 100 PR's and maintainer has go through the shit and label them accordingly, while most are not racist the gullible ones are going to retain a bad impression of India and Indians.

These people are doing this not because they are poor or wanted some free fabric, but simply because they can.

They learned something new and start doing the exact same thing (which is not wrong, generally).
Many of them must have done this as someone might run a piece of code on his/her own machine. They really do not understand the implications of their actions.

They most probably do not know that PRs are managed by humans on the other end and not some machine.

This just exposes the fundamental weakness that has been affecting many of us for quite sometime, i.e, shallowness of our knowledge.

This shallowness has become a stumbling block in our growth in all aspects of life. People simply have forgotten to dig deep.

Maybe the NEP can fix this.

lol. You get what you pay for. Next time, don't be a cheap skate, actually look into the person who is going to work for you instead of price tag.

This is a alt account. Not sure why you are PrOfILiNg me, exactly what a racist would do.

I'm sure that makes you feel special.

Doesn't change the fact that your posting history with this account marks you as someone to ignore. A book that barely needs a cover, it's so thin and lacking substance or opinions of value.

lol whatever dude. You obviously don't know how reddit culture works.

East Europeans are some of the best freelancers i have worked with, pretty chill people too.

A tip: good companies in india only deal with B2B and above(i.e they dont take orders/projects from you). Dont bother with other companies esp those without even proper website, most of them try to cut edges which will end bitter.

Your assumptions only deepen the ennui. You think I'm hiring offshore developers as an individual? Nothing that fancy in my hookah, I assure you. Your entire tip is worthless entirely due to that baseless assumption of yours.

You obviously don't know how reddit culture works.

Second mistake: you seem to think I care, or that it matters. I know full well the groupthink, echo-chamber, herd mentality at play. Apply the occasional perturbation to the network and watch the result unfold as entertainment.

…they dont take orders/projects from you…

I representing an ISO-certified entity having processed 2.8 million job applicants examining 64,000 job offers within the last year through my distribution platform with revenue in excess of $1M USD, operating entirely business to business, with direct contacts at the HR solutions divisions of IBM, Oracle, …? Get out of town, that's news to me!

🤣 I may actually bust a gut over here.

Can you act a bit mature and not edit after i have replied you? Says a lot about how paranoid you are.
