"If you hire a programmer who is asking for $500 a month or more, then you will most likely be getting a real top notch developer with tons of experience and who can do ANYTHING with minimal supervision."
Dear author, this is a very, very dubious claim.
- z92 16y ago> I use onlinejobs.ph and bestjobs.ph to find people. He probably is talking about Philippines market.
- varjag 16y agoIt might be just true when the said developer resides in Philippines, and ANYTHING == AdSense bait throwaway project.
- cabalamat 16y agoIndeed. Writing software is hard. Writing software that can be maintained by someone else is harder. It is hard to ensure that what the customer wants is what the programmer is building. It is even harder when they live on different continents, have different cultural backgrounds, and different native languages. If you want some throwaway code written, outsourcing may well be the best way to do it. If you want maintainable code that you're going to base long-term business goal on, outsourcing is less likely to produce a good outcome.
