How do you typo "San Francisco" into "Bangalore"? This seems extremely shady.

Copy and paste from where? Did you even build this product or just hire cheap labor out of India to build it?



Please give the benefit of the doubt on HN.

This company created ZincSearch:

https://github.com/zincsearch/zincsearch

Prabhat is one of the core contributors/maintainers:

Also the negative insinuation of using “cheap” labor out of India to build the product is unnecessary. If you’re concerned about code quality, look at the code.

Assuming everyone working with devs in India is doing so cynically is not charitable.

I dont know why the headquarters was set as india versus SF but does it actually even matter?

Assuming _only_ cheap labour exists in India is just plain ignorant. Even a discriminatory tone towards some of the outstanding engineers and hackers who live there. Please reconsider your biases, and ask questions in good faith.


Plus one on this. How did this get “typo”?
