- gymbeaux 3mo agoTrue. I used to get code that wouldn't compile all the time from Infosys "developers" in India circa 2016. Perhaps now with LLMs they still do basically no work, but at least the code compiles? That being said, I'm not sure that paying for Opus/GPT/Gemini makes sense for a company like Infosys that caters to the dumb C-Levels of large corporations who think "why pay X for U.S. devs when we can pay X/5 for foreign devs?" - such companies are fucked in the long-term anyway. Why would Infosys voluntarily pay gobs of money when such U.S. corporations seem to be content with their output as-is?
