It's never as easy as "hire some contract programmers to [insert thing here]." Management is a pain in the ass. Finding talented contractors is hard. Finding one's whole be available past that one feature you need is harder. Finding folks who will deliver when they say they will is even harder than that.

Managing things is a profession unto itself. My guess is Arrington doesn't like doing it.
