- sologoub 10y agoThat's possible now - you can absolutely have a fully remote developer workforce, but there are real human challenges that make outsourcing to another continent a lot harder. From language to cultural differences, these all erode end quality and add costs. If managed properly, it's possible to be very successful, but if management is lacking, results can be desasterous. Remote on-shore side-steps a lot of these differences, plus time zone is not as much of an issue. If the team speaks the same language well and shares basic norms, as well as has shared company culture understanding, management becomes less of an issue (less management and more autonomy is better in my experience).
