China and Russia trump U.S. for the best developers in the world, says HackerRank
Which countries have the best programmers in the world?

HackerRank, a platform that ranks engineers based on their coding skills and helps companies discover talent faster, has tried to answer this question based on coding challenges.

Attracting hundreds of thousands of developers from all over the world, these challenges involve a variety of languages and knowledge domains, from Python and algorithms to security and distributed systems. Developers were scored and ranked based on a combination of their accuracy and speed.

According to HackerRank, China and Russia score as having the most talented developers. Chinese programmers outscore all other countries in mathematics, functional programming, and data structures challenges, while Russians dominate in algorithms, the most popular and most competitive arena.

Poland, Switzerland, France, and Italy are in the top 10, while Ukraine ranks 11th, leaving the United States, the UK, India, and Israel far behind.

HackerRank claims that its methodology has ensured that the comparison of individual country scores across different domains is consistent, even though some domains are more challenging than others. The data was restricted to the 50 countries with the most developers on HackerRank.

Indian job is waiting aside the phone. If there is a receptionist ranking, Indian must be No. one.

The moment I saw India, US, UK and Israel in the same league and China leading the lot I decided this ranking is a farce.
Of course US, UK and Israel have better programmers than India, no shame in accepting that. But it is totally insane to believe China has the best of them all.

And, it is funny that some ignorant Chinese posters think India has a well established BPO industry only. India has a huge software market with buzzing start-ups and service lines. Surely it is not one which Chinese infants perceive. India's BPO industry is competed by Philippines, a country which is 1/100th of the size of China. China isn't even in the vicinity of that level of competition yet.

Why would India's best programmers go on a website called Hackerrank? When top Indian and US MNCs are knocking their doors with job offers before they complete their degrees?
 
. .
No Indians are best at CEO jobs of MNC's, like GOOGLE, MICROSOFT etc... We control all programmers!


Are Google and Microsoft Indian companies? What Silicon Valley tech titans have Indians founded? Why do the most talented Indians always end up leaving India? Why don't they stay?

It was not really a hack, some moron of an official uploaded the documents in a public domain cloud storage, and some journalists found and published it.

This rank shows countries where programmers cant find a job and go to site hackerrank instead.
