Are you kidding? We've only seen the beginning. Moving programming offshore
is about many times as easier than moving manufacturing (it's just another type
of manufacturing, anyway, isn't it?) and we've seen how quickly the
manufacturing job sector of our economy has been lost in the US. A large
portion of high paying programming and engineering jobs are about to leave and
never return. And it will happen _much_ faster than we've seen in the hard
goods sector. Ten years or less. It will be an unprecedented job exodus the
likes of which we've never seen before.
