- My friend have you ever sat in a software class and tried to compete with
- the best and brightest students from India? I have and let me tell you
- I have nothing but the highest regard for the kind of talent that

- over twice the number of potential great programmers that we do.

- To think that we can blindly bash our best software companies into the
- ground and still be number one in software is about the most extreme
- form of cultural egocentrism than I can imagine. Wake up and smell the
- coffee!
