this offshoring all over again. At first, every dev in the US was going to be out of a job because of how expensive they were compared to offshore devs. Then the results started coming back and there was some very good work done offshore but there was tons and tons of stuff that had to be unwound and fixed with onshore teams. Entire companies/careers were made dedicated to just fixing stuff coming back from offshore dev teams. In the end, it took a mix of both to realize more value per dev $
