I have a lot of contacts in Hyderabad, India and it doesn’t seem like any of them are really worried about their jobs. Haven’t heard of any layoffs there. With additional GCCs being built out I do think there will be more offshoring.
I have been converting a lot of my makefiles to pyinvoke and fabric and it makes things so much easier to manage than bash or make. Don't know why I held on for so long.
I do wonder if a lot of the stuff that Google has worked on Google Docs, Chromebook were inspired by Sun. Eric Schmidt was a VP at Sun and Novell before joining Google.
