tl;dr - Company CTO hires off-shore dev consultant to write an app, the code is horrendously bad, doesn't even fulfill requirements, and has to be thrown out because it's such a bug-ridden mess. Company scrambles to produce the app internally and succeeds. Later, they need to launch a new product, CTO decides to rehire the same off-shore consultant.
- pc86 2y agoHonestly at the CTO level even making that first hire is borderline fireable depending on how bad it was. Second time is very quickly approaching "what salary/bonus/options/401k match can we claw back because this is professional negligence" territory.
