There’s obviously a benefit of paying higher rates for US programmers, but does that benefit change when llms are thrown into the mix
- forgotlastlogin 8mo ago2k in Poland you say...
- apercu 8mo agoMy experience with outsourcing over 20+ years (Russia, Romania, India, South America) is that you just move money around when you do it. It takes more planning, more specification, more coordination, more QA. The quality is almost always worse, and remediation takes forever. So your BA, QA and PM time goes way up and absorbs any cost savings. YMMV.
- thewebguyd 8mo agoSounds like an LLM, tbh. Using Claude also takes more planning, more explicit specification, prompting, more manual review, more QA.
- aurareturn 8mo agoMakes no sense because LLMs makes it far less worth it to outsource developers.
