People keep saying this, and companies keep trying it, and it keeps not working very well. You try to cheap out with remote developers, and you get what you pay for. Sometimes it works, because the guy who sowed has already done the up and out to another company by the time it's time to reap.
- deanclatworthy 5y agoThat's because most managers don't do due diligence and proper checks on the remote teams. I've worked with teams from Poland & Romania that have been far more productive & professional than some of my colleagues here in Finland.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoI've worked with Romanians, and have been quite impressed. I've heard good things about Polish teams. I've seen some truly God-awful, unmaintainable code, though, and have heard many outsourcing horror stories. In my experience, good engineers can command good salaries; wherever they are. I think that we will actually see engineers in India and Vietnam getting a lot more money for their work, because they are just plain good engineers, and they will be able to stand out a great deal more. This remote economy will give them some real opportunities. It's pretty hard to keep a good [wo]man down; no matter where they are.
