I largely agree but would note that one thing which killed a lot of outsourcing projects were timeline and language barriers. If you’re in, say, Pacific time there’s still a lot of room to go down from Bay Area salaries while avoiding both of those problems. I think we’re about to see the largest experiment yet of how well people can really run remote development projects.

Click the timestamp on it, then you can favorite it (or at that point bookmark it).

Click the timestamp (“x minutes ago”), there are more options under that.
