Because you can only hire so many good developers in each country. At some point you're just filling seats.

Of course it was fun. You were in Belgium. Wink

What kind of gig was it? Recently or a long time ago?

A bit more than "a little" in Ireland. It's the biggest Microsoft dev facility outside of Redmond.

I would have thought at least China beat Dublin. And maybe even India.
