With outsourcing, it's hit and miss. Sometimes I think that many programmers in poorer countries simply choose their education based on financial prospects, often without considering if they like the subject and have a talent for it.

So, you end up with some great programmers, as well as quite a few who couldn't code their way out of a wet paper bag. Unfortunately, many outsourcing companies pay little attention to individual skills.
