> You need a decent understanding of something in order to delegate it. ... if you have a choice or delegating two things, choose the one you know best, I don't think that is true, even in general. In general, experts can figure out the details and get it done entirely without your help. My corporate taxes for instance. Or my furnace upgrade. Or my companies new data infrastructure ... In the specific case of software development, this can often hold true because you are not delegating something to an expert, since it is new to everyone.

You are just taking those things on faith though. Just because you hire a professional doesn't mean they are honest. > my furnace upgrade I can tell you from experience that even large commercial HVAC outfits are ripe with fraud. I even have receipts and a verdict in my favor as evidence. The only reason I have them is because I took the advise of GP and made time to be involved with that contractor and notice their deceit.

  > You are just taking those things on faith though. I absolutely am not. It's bad enough to be moving the goal posts, please don't insult me by insinuating I am naive and stupid. > I can tell you from experience that even large commercial HVAC outfits are ripe with fraud. Which is why I got a recommendation from a trusted general contractor and then was onsite while they did the work.
