outsourcing shifts your work from coding to project management. local devs write code to get the job done, contractors write code to meet the spec. if your spec didn't consider every issue when it was written, you will need to fix them later on at much greater cost instead of your developers noticing it and adapting during development. for any non-trivial program the overhead of writing sufficiently detailed specs and validating the results exceeds that of writing it yourself

If you write a complete spec for a program, aren't you essentially writing in a query language that gets run by other human beings and which returns a computer program

yes, that's the point, programmers are typists. they're just being paid to write in java rather than english. given the output you might as well go back to the old days and pay them by the line infernal machines fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Feb 3, 2016 |

The Management posted:you guys don't remember the outsourcing trend of the mid 2000's where idiot third world code janitors were going to do all of your computer touching for pennies. it turns out their code was garbage (even worse than yours) and any company that tried it got burned hard by the unusable poo poo they produced. somebody probably still got a bonus out of it i liked when they posted huge chunks of proprietary corporate code on public coding help sites

walt shat out a dumb post along the lines of the meme that marco started last year, probably cause it's nilay's editorital policy. good thing is apple actually responds to tehse dumb memes this time instead of letting every jerk off project whatever bug they're currently running into some broader narrative http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/3/10900612/walt-mossberg-apple-iphone-ios-mac-osx-app-problems

offshoring: you ask the developers to jump 50 times, the next day you get a video of them jumping over a piece of paper that says "50 times" inhouse: you ask the developers to jump 50 times and they tell you that's out of scope for this release and also they each spent 2 and a half hours either in the bathroom or on lunch break or both contractors: you ask them to jump 50 times and by the time they're done they've already responded to three different linkedin recruiters
