I can't wrap my head around why companies do this. If you find a competent programmer whose work is good enough to use, wouldn't your team be better off if you hire them full-time? That seems more efficient than interviewing 200 people every time you need some code written.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoDesperate strategy to steal developer code done by people that is as immoral as ignorant on how tech isn't reusable or modularly scalable like they imagine and how obviously bad it will all invariably end but they are "just giving it a try"?
