A data point on outsourcing dev jobs: I've seen several companies roll back outsourcing. And many never adopted it. Many large co's had net losses from their outsourcing adventures.
But some are still trying new approaches today. (Not sure I can mention compnues by name, but let's say... large Danish companies.)
Sure, we didn't get rid of outsourcing but it also isn't more common than not—at least in Denmark?
I'm not sure I see that most companies benefit from it—most tech companies I know the workings of seem unaffected.
Would love yo hear more about what you are seeing that I am not!
