Will companies offshore some of that expensive labor then? or will it just not be replaced?

- rossdavidh 3y agoI think most companies that try offshoring dev work (and there have been many) reverse course fairly quickly, for a variety of reasons. However, there were a lot of devs being paid to do things that just didn't need doing, either because it was 10 companies trying to do the same thing, or because it was trying to look good for an IPO rather than solving someone's real problem. There is still lots of real, useful programming work out there to do, but it will take some time for the industry to pivot back towards working on real problems.
