When I think "Hungarian problem solving" the first association that comes up is John Von Neumann.

What assumptions do you normally encounter?

I think there is a generic implicit assumption that programmers in less rich countries are lower quality. Of course it is rarely said explicitly but it can be seen from some signs: salaries are so much lower here that I cannot see any other reason why not more development work comes here. When companies do offshoring they bring here only the boring job which does not need much creativity, etc...
