They just don't extend much more than 30 minutes past the present. :P Us designers have very rigid processes! They just don’t extend much more than 30 minutes past the present. :P

I'm not quite sure how they get away with that, except maybe that nobody wants to admit their own mistakes. All of the pirate kings (of which there are a few) know I have a blog. I'm pretty sure this particular boss is mostly joking anyway. Overseas outsourcing boosters somehow manage to gloss over the disasters.

In both cases I ended up having to commandeer the projects and redo them in rediculously short amounts of time ("We're going live tomorrow, can you rewrite this program from the India team so that it works?").

India's education system hasn't kept pace with the demand for its labor, so while there are plenty of really bright people there, you get a lot more people going into programming simply because that's where the money is, not because that's where their heart or true talent lies.
