  That's why you write the contract to the outsourcing company so that you lock in those experienced people for an extended period of time -- like years.

So, do you want to save money by offshoring everything, or do you want to get good people to actually do the real work that needs to be done?

  I'll bite. Plenty of reasons to do that, esp. on small to mid size gigs. Write the spec well, get thorough, detailed planning done by seniors, and then throw the day-laborer-coders at it as needed. Rope in a senior to look at it / poke / guide things every once in a while, and let it go. I don't need to drag the building architects, master masons or master carpenters to help frame every wall of the house; ditto for code.
