"Vendors don't build software, people build software"

Working with vendors is logical for big projects but an obstruction for small projects. If we eliminate the middleman, outsourcers would pay less and developers would be paid more. There'd be less bureaucracy. There'd be greater loyalty.

I hope there was an easier way for outsourcers and developers to find each other.



It's called «freelancing». It's way cheaper and worse than outsourcing.


Any reason why you consider freelancing worse than outsourcing? I think if you can build a good team of freelancers, you basically save yourself from a lot of the issues this article mentions.


If you CAN build good team of freelancers, you can start your own outsource firm.
