> An economic downturn coupled with destigmatized remote work is an environment ripe for outsourcing. It isnt. That cheap outsourced software engineer wont be staying for ages with any company. They get promoted or found their own businesses. They dont keep slavering away for dimes for an US company that wants to have them as sweatshop labor. Designing, engineering and maintaining highly scalable systems is not something that you could outsource to have it done for $15/hour.
