maheshs··on Offshoring: does it ever work?
Its depend; sometime it works and sometime it won't. In 2009-2010 India has done somewhere around $75 billion business with 18% growth and these numbers say it works for some people.

There are certain downsize of offshore development like communication, cultural differences etc.

maheshs··on Leaving .Net
Being as a core asp.net developer for 7 years and now working as a python/django from last 5-6 months; I can say every .net developer should change his development platform at least for couple of months, because it make you more mature developer.

.net is a good platform, but the real problem is you have to wait for MS to develop something. For example before "asp.net mvc" there is no option to use mvc in MS world.

For me learning python/django was not a big pain; but running them on ubuntu is a real pain; and i think this is true for every ms developer who want to change his platform.

On linux platform options are great and there are lots self motivated developers and fun projects which is not true in the case of MS.

One more thing - lots of start-ups work on the non ms platform. Once people talk about asp.net mvc they only talk about http://stackoverflow.com/, but we can find more successful example in rails, or django or php; which makes every ms developer on back-foot.

PS: I love c#, asp.net mvc and VS as a developer tools.

maheshs··on Ask HN: RubyOnRails or Django/Pylons?
Python vs Ruby - Both are great. I tried ruby first for a week or so and then move to python; I love python simplicity. According to my learning experience you can learn python faster then any other language (I am a ASP.NET/C# developer in my day job.)

Django vs Rails - I don't have any experience with Rails because you must know ruby first. Django is a natural choice for me because of python. Till now it seems good to me (around a month experience). It is seem not so cool in comparison to Rails but its good (I also know little bit of ASP.NET MVC).

Note: I am not an expert in both language/framework, so you can ignore my suggestions.
