The problem I have with the arguments posted in the article is that every single one could also be applied to hiring coders full-time. You're not going to build rapprochement with your coders simply by signing their paychecks. There's no guarantee that the code your in-house people write will be better than code written by outsiders. Finally, I don't think any programmer, in house or outsourced, is looking to make you, the business owner, rich. They're looking to make a living doing what they like to do. Making you rich is a not even a tertiary consideration.
