MSNBC - Should I Stay or Should I Go?
We all said it would happen eventually:
As U.S. companies move from exporting call centers to outsourcing more complex work like software development, they're finding overseas workers are often ill-equipped to deliver consistent, quality work.
Every so often the press starts talking doom and gloom in the tech sector. For those of us dedicated technology types we just ride the storm and things work out. It is a matter of weeding out the weak who jump ship at the first sign of trouble.
The important thing to realize is that one size doesn't fit all. There are some things that go really well with outsourcing, and some of those can even be outsourced over seas. But there are other things that really should be done in house, or at least close by. This is true in all industries, including software development. Right now we are in a transitional state as we try to find what works where. Grin an bear it and it will come out to everyone's benefit in the end.
