Ask HN: Seeking fellow hackers in India
I recall a post here on Hacker News some time ago which I'm not able to find now: some guy
from USA told about a startup he was bootstrapping. He considered his budget and found that
the whole of it would hire him jus one rockstar manager in USA. So instead, I recall, he
decided to hire a team of programmers in Pune, India (whom he happened to know because he
worked with them on some other project) and become a manager himself. He also said something
along the lines of not treating the whole affair as outsourcing, but partnership. He said he
spends one week each month in Pune, the rest in USA.
I'm a hacker from St.-Petersburg, Russia. Currently I have a day job programming embedded
processors, but I'm planning changes in my life soon and I would like to move to India. I
would like to get acquainter with fellow hackers in India who would probably tell me a bit
about how's life in India from their perspective and maybe show me around and help to
accomodate a bit.
If you are one of the people I described, or happen to know them, or can point me to the
mentioned article - please contact me: nleschov@gmail.com
P.S. I'm sorry to dilute the fine Hacker News site with this piece of non-news; I promise I
won't abuse its functionality. I wish there were other means of contact; writing comments or
submitting stub 'news' seems unappropriate.
