For $15/hr, you do not get top quality C++ developers from any corner of the world. I know - I've worked for companies that have tried. You tend to end up with a spaghetti code base utilizing crappy open source or shareware libraries that a cousin produced. Then, you try and scale, and need to bring people that actually know what they're doing.
2 years in at current job, where most of the work was done by offshore devs, company now has a team of onshore developers to fix all of the performance and stability problems.
- jameskegel 8y agoI don’t agree with the false equivalency of open source or shareware meaning a lib is crap.
- fipple 8y agoThere is a lot of variance in $15/hr offshore developers. For example, you can buy a shirt for $10 in various places in the world, some of them will be total crap and some of them will be exquisitely tailored. The selection becomes the challenge and just because someone failed doesn’t mean someone else did.
