Hans Rosling: Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you've ever seen

The First/Third World East/West split isn't as concrete or relevant as it used to be, perhaps best explained by Hans Rosling: [this video] The first proper comment in TFA hits the nail on the head for India, and is relevant elsewhere. If you approach programmers in a non-Anglospheric country adopting the cultural and business manners and expectations of the Anglosphere then your project is doomed from the get go. This is doubly true for countries like India that technically are too big and diverse to form part of the Anglosphere but have a massive number of English speakers, often as a second language. I don't perceive programmers from any nation in any particular way, because there are good programmers, there are crap programmers and there are culturally different programmers. What I will say is that for programmers who have English as a second or third language or not at all it's much harder for them to work as most of the tutorials, books, online resources are written primarily in English for an English speaking populous. Even the languages themselves are written in English following English idioms. How would you feel about programming in a language that uses Mandarin or Hindi as a base language?
