I think the trend toward offshore outsource
may be a sign that some contradictions in
US software development practices are finally
being resolve.

Just about every software development project
I've worked on over the last 20 years has been plagued with one or more managers who didn't
have a clue. The result has been lots of
wasted time and money. Precious little
software of lasting value was created.

But somehow such managers keep working when
their projects regularly fail. They've gotten
new budgets and repeated the unsatisfactory
process over and over. How is this possible?

Where has the money come from? How can the
software development industry continue to
function this way?

Maybe the trend toward offshore outsourcing
indicates that the well is finally beginning
to run dry.

I know that these offshore outsourced projects
are not going to be well managed either.

So maybe the industry practices will finally be
forced to change. It will be a relief!!
