No we won't, that was our hope when software development experience started going downhill with cheap offshoring teams.

The best we could achieve were the projects that got so burned that near shore started to become an alternative, but never again in-house.

I really don't understand your reply. What exactly are you disagreeing with?

  • That businesses will eventually care about quality.

    As proven by offshoring, it is a race to the bottom, as long as software kind of works.

    • Hmm. I think you misread my comment. I never said anything about businesses caring about quality. I meant strong engineers will care about quality but we'll eventually be drowned out by those (individuals and businesses) who don't. Actually think we agree on this.
