Thank you for making me listen to this entire podcast. I had to with your “Mr. Chess is very proud that there aren’t any Indian programmers at Fortify” comment. Glad to see the P.C. Police are on their toes at http://www.cigital.com/silverbullet. 1) DrC is without a doubt one of the nicest, most open mined, and politically correct people I’ve ever known. 2) As with software security, context is everything. The context of Brian’s “Indian” comment has nothing to do with Asian Indians or the ethnicity of any of the programmers at Fortify. It’s the old, one “Chief” many “Indians”... ala “Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians”. Just part of the lexicon here in the US. g... Vic. Thank you for making me listen to this entire podcast.

I think that xenophobia around software development is misguided and silly. This is particularly striking in the US government where foreign companies are severly restricted from developing certain kinds of code while at the very same time many foreign nationals write code every day for US companies in silicon valley. Code is code. Trust but verify and do not discriminate based on nation of origin. gem Interesting comment.

Wonder if he knows that many Indian programmers were born and raised in the US. Seems like Mr Chess is very proud that there aren’t any Indian programmers at Fortify.
