Departure of ADS's best employees in IT is really picking up steam. Management really doesn't care. Apparently, they believe a developer from Bangelore can step right in and fill in for a developer who has been with the company for 10+ years. I can't emphasize enough just how incompetent the SLT is at ADS.

Provided you have a 1st rate requirements process. That doesn't exist here. Also provided you can retain offshore talent, another problem these days.
Requirements are far from sound at ADS. Your experienced programmers are holding your company together every day. Sadly I think SLT is going to learn this too late.
Unfortunately that is a fallacy that lives in the minds of businesses. Not true at all.
Like saying a corvette and a Yugo are the same because they are both cars.
What you end up with is cheap, shoddy, code written poorly and barely working. Then you have to rely on your overworked American talent to fix the c-ap overnight to save the leaders a– that made the bad decision to begin with.
Been through this many times with different companies and it always comes out to be this way.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Unpopular opinion, but code is code. Anyone, anywhere can write code to meet the provided business requirements . If the requirements are sound, no experience should be necessary. This is the reason many shops have gone away from internal development teams entirely, seeking instead to contract out the development work. In this, the company can throw 10 overseas developer on contract at a problem and solve it in weeks, rather than 2 or 3 FTE developers working on it for months. This allows more work to be done in less time for less money, and that is the name of the game.
