outsourcing works when you and your devs are aligned, you have a tech owner on the client side and regular checkins from all parties. What doesn't work, and never worked, is throwing loose specs over the wall and expecting the next Instagram.

The ones who don't know this are the non-technical founders who think the idea is the hardest part. Alas, that has been an issue for years before outsourcing became popular.
