> I am not saying it is easy, only that it is the easiest when compared to e.g. manufacturing or services It is actually the other way around regarding manufacturing and software development. Software development is high-growth, quickly changing, highly skilled, high levels of communication, transferable, low capital, and doesn't scale well. Manufacturing for the most part is steady demand, slow rates of change, low-moderate skill, low communication, not very transferable, high capital and scales really well. This leads to software dev being very difficult to outsource without being out-competed.
