> Agree with the overseas talent comment as well. The amount of technical debt they create is massive, the overhead in communication is too high, and the people aren't invested in the products the code they are creating.
Technical debt:
As an oversee talent, cleaning up the technical debt created by (now left) US employee, we can see that both yours and mine experiences are anecdotal.
Slack Communication
Me: 1. Question A, 2. Question B, 3. Question C
US employee: answers half of the question B, general ramblings about A and C
Zoom communication
Me: Lets get on zoom and figure this out right now
US employee: lets schedule the meeting on 2 days, throw a PM and two more developers in it, so they can waste time too
So, I guess, lets agree that generalizations are not ok.
- SgtBastard 7y agoYou just made the parents point about the overhead in dealing with offshore devs is too high to be productive. Perhaps you’d like to expand on this technical debt you’re cleaning up?
