Too often I've seen companies offshore a project only to require a full rewrite in 6 months because "that wasnt in the spec" during the first version.
Well written software expands your options as it grows, not shrinks them.
- miroljub 4y agoThat's true, but if you don't pay in advance for well-written software, you are not going to get it later.

As someone else said, the other company will never care as much as you do. They have a different intent than you do, and making you think there’s common ground is part of how they achieve theirs.
