good design and implementation requires skilled people. you don't get either with bottom of the barrel pay grades.

something I have noticed in this industry is that big companies think they can outsource their staffing issues and "save on labor". But in the end they pay more in management of outsourced assets, inevitable maintenance of poorly designed and implemented software, delays in delivery, and of course the churn and burn of hiring/firing contractors. Then they end up redoing everything with local talent with 1/8th the team in half the time.

It only took 3-4 years to realize this but this is what the "trough of despair" really looks like.
