How is it that companies that want you to buy their IT expertise outsource their own? It makes no sense.
Equally true story. We used to run our own servers. A (name withheld) sysadmin always felt he knew better than management how servers should be configured and managed even when in fact he did not. So we went to Rackspace, where we are treated as customers and where sysadmins manage the resource as directed. And they're available 24/7/365.
There are two sides to this. You have a point, but so does Nicholas Carr.
