Nowadays, I just simply refuse any projects that previously had Indians involved. It's simply not worth the hassle.

Yep. Truth. The adult industry is also notorious for weekend/part-time warriors who heard that their buddy got something made for $100 when it should've cost $2000. It happens but like already mentioned, you gotta weed through 30 Indians to find that good one who doesn't know what he's worth.
Bottom line: if you penny pinch on code, be prepared to go through coders. Otherwise, pay the industry standard rate ($80-$150/h) to get shit done.
Considering that auto-mechanics charge $75/h+ it surprises me that people try to find a "good deal" on programmers.. which is as much if not more skilled profession than an auto-mechanic.
