There are always exceptions to the rule. Don't get me wrong. Outsourcing grunt CF programming is not a bad thing as long as your very clear as to what you want. The problem is, few are very clear. I did a job last week where I interviewed the client to get a very clear idea of what he wanted, what the business logic was, and just about every angle needed to do the project right. I then wrote up a document detailing what we talked about with directions to go, things to watch for, time estimates, etc. If he gave that to an offshore team, they would get the job done well. If he just said he wanted X and Y, even if he tried to explain it, the chances of getting it in a timely fashion, let alone correct, would be extreme. Of course, looking at what he wanted and all, I could probably get it to him in 3/4 of the time/price, but we'll see if that happens. I probably have code for half of the project or more just in stuff I've done for fun.
Would be good to have money. On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 5:17 PM, Erika L. Walker <[email protected]>wrote: > I didn't say all. I said some.
