It’s coming with higher quality candidates. For a long time, off-shore devs were uniformly mediocre and generally made things harder. I think that has been changing over the last decade, and is changing faster with more and more high quality online education. Thinking that there will be a switch-flip moment (or that, because there hasn’t, there won’t be) is, I think, a limited view. Average American devs just aren’t enough better, or won’t be soon, to justify the massively higher cost, and I think the push from a lot of devs around remote-first policy has forced employers to figure out timezone/asynch issues. I will say that I’m really guessing about 3-5 years from now. Happy to see other perspectives!
