I do it to goldfish. The gods hate it but a deal is a deal.
They should have read the fine print.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Personally, I find that sacrificing an MSCE works better. It has the advantage that while someone may actually miss the virgins, no one will miss the MSCE.

I've almost wanted to after the hell i got from VS2017 tonight. I've practically given up writing syntax highlighting into my newt VS integration. The VSIX projects are just godawful. I'd deal with that, but they don't even work!

I'm dabbling with the idea of contracting my sales projects offshore since I'm getting real busy now. My new marketing tools and ads are producing lots of phone calls and RFP's locally in my area.
I have one contractor from India I'm thinking of using, he came to America last week to visit and introduce himself. But He pitched one thing and his technical partner in India is saying another. Now all of a sudden they are in sync.
I know some of you hear on CP reside in India, and other countries. I need to figure if these guys are legit, or if their outsourcing to another company and they just do the sales. And I need to find some more sources in case this first deal falls apart.
These guys are in Kochi India. I won't mention the name of the company yet, but would like some recon intelligence before I submit my RFP quotes.
Any help would be appreciated!

There are good professionals in India, I don't discuss that. But in my experience, they are the minority.
If you are not 100% sure... don't do it.
If you do it because they are cheaper, don't forget that if you pay peanuts, you will only get monkeys.
Just some additional aspects...
different horary: Difficult to get live meetings.
different philosophy: Just look here in CP, 90% of the plagiarism come from a group of countries (including india)
different quality: (as I said, there are a lot of really good professionals, but relationally, they are a low %)

Just mention that you would also like to visit them to better understand how they can help you and
get the address,further just do a google earth search on them and see if they are located in a proper
office space, there are usually "techno parks" that provide sorta infrastructure and office space.

Check if they have the resources or the capability to do what they are saying and can produce
the expected results.Also their mode of delivery and demo of sample projects or case studies etc.
You can further ask/insistent for three client reference in the US and client contact persons
you can call and ask about their performance and delivery.Also you can ask for updated resumes of the
developers in their company and do fact checking.
Usually the sales guy may not know much technical stuff so he would say ya we can do that
and this , you can even say you would like to set up a interview with their delivery team
and try to understand how they would architecture a solution for you based on on a sample RFP
and how many months it would take them and what is the deployment model...etc...you can
get a judgement from the responses and conclude

I am sure there's awesome people in India. Certainly some of the best programmers I've known have been from there. But if you do small time outsourcing, there isn't enough money in it for you to know what you're getting. My experience of outsourcing to India has always been a nightmare

Hmm,
This doesn't sound promising.
Yes they are located in a business park, located in a football stadium which I find strange.
I feel like I'm talking to 2 brokers, that are not real programmers.
They have 5 star ratings and their not cheap.
I'll do the US customer reference first.
Thanks!

It's a phone (I had to look that up) any price they can get users to pay for is "justified".

He was one of my all-time favorite comedians. The work he did on the Carol Burnet Show[^] was absolutely fantastic. Any time he was teamed up with Harvey Korman it was hilarious.
So many funny skits. He was one of the great ones.

Yeah he was one of my favorites too!

As soon as I saw the name of that skit, I remembered it.
Great stuff!!! And just pure funny. No politics, nothing else. Just funny.
