So the OP said that there was "a team in Traansylvania making it a legacy codebase". The literal meaning is that there is a team of developers in a foreign country being paid less to do the same job. The other guy said it was offensive because he's implying something similar. He's also working in a foreign country for a US business. More of a joke about being offended. At least that's how I'm reading it.

Right ... I was trying to be funny / tongue-in-cheeky . Text is terrible for that and i leaned on HN guideline of "use the best interpretation " .

The fact is that there is great and terrible people in all countries. And a cheap company will be cheap no matter where.
