On November 20, 2024, Shubham Shah and I discovered a security vulnerability in Subaru’s STARLINK admin panel that gave us unrestricted access to all vehicles and customer accounts in the United States, Canada, and Japan.
Idk, we work with two companies, one based in India and the other in E. Europe, and the E. Europe code quality is certainly better. There are great devs on each, but each group needs a different type of hand holding. The Indian group follows instructions too literally and doesn’t ask enough questions, and the E. Europe group takes too many liberties and doesn’t ask enough questions.
I think it has more to do with he nature of how get get paid, but each country has its own idiosyncracies.
Only someone who was never forced to outsource critical software to low pay companies basically sweatshoping software, thinks outsourcing is equal throughout the world. Everyone loses in that chain except the C type that shows nice numbers that quarter for a nice performance number. Meanwhile shit like the one above propagates like wildfire.
Subcontracted to Indian, Ucranian and other low income countries. You get what you pay for.
Ukrainian devs are top notch, to be fair. Outsourcing to there is not an issue.
Just subcontracts in general. No need to bring any specific country into this.
