> If you are a software developer in the US, you should definitely advocate against remote work. Sooner or later, the company is going to realize they can hire the same developer for 15% of the salary that the company is paying you. This relies on a pretty common mistake, that software can really only be made in American offices. It's at least less horrific than only Americans can make good software but it's still wrong. There is no reason why a lot of software can't be made in India. There's nothing magical about Lahore than stops this from happening. Offshoring tends to fail pretty badly because companies focus exclusively on the bottom line in a globally competitive market place. If you're hiring a software engineer for $10/hr it's because their work product isn't worth $15/hr. Am I worried that my high compensation will trend downwards over time? Yeah, it's probably going to happen. Is all or most software engineering going to move to Bangalore? Not a chance.
