    America has the best programmers, according to CNN.

    I saw last night, some company who analyzes which countries have the highest skilled programmers - out of a convention USA did the best... while indians were in like 20th place.

              A large part of that is the fact that the truly skilled top-notch programmers come to America to work here. I bet they did that study by residence and not nation of origin. Obviously America attracts talented programmers from all over the world.

                        no this wasn't performed by CNN, it was simply covered by CNN. a big company actually had a couple thousand programmers go through an elaborate series of tests to determine who was the highest skilled - and i'm sure they based it on where they were trained, instead of where they currently live.

                                                the convention was probably in the US so only the rich programmers from the countries could go while the poor but best programmers stayed home

                                                  sorry but the "best" programmers in any country would have enough money to go.
