Outsourcing boons

Freelancer At our days, I think, we can divide programming to web-development and non-web. But most oursourced projects are web. Why? Because on the West exists a great demand, and supply is on the East. In addition, web-programming is more simplier, there is a lot of documentation and the specialists number constantly grows. Eastern freelancers can and want work for $500 whole days and nights, even if there already no place for strawberry. I believe that soon we’ll see frelancers that will work for food, scriptlance.com already has specimens of those who a ready to work only for positive clients review. Of course, 4 dumb indians or ukranians will do more work than one expensive specialist. But I doubt they’ll do it better. Freelancers do not care about the code quality and maintenance cost. And as result you’ll get a black box.

So it is a good idea to have no deal with freelancers, but with medium and big companies only. You’ll pay more for it, but for serious longterm projects this way is more acceptable.

And if you are a young specialist, I’ll advise you not to go on web-development. It became much less prestigious and profitable as before.

    Мы все больше уходим в embedded технологии. Девайсов становится все больше, кода для него писать надо все больше… Только сегодня ребята рассказывали что каждая вторая компания выпускает нынче девайс. Неважно какой, важно что для этого девайса нужно много C/C++ кода. Так что скоро поднимется спрос на низкоуровневых программистов (как 10 лет назад)

    Not yet, and I am not sure if it will happen. Anyway - not in the nearest future.
