NYCPHP Meetup

[Jason Scott]

Written by a telecommuter...and complete crap

As a real life CIO, and not the fictional "suit" manager - you know, the kind that "can't understand true technology" - please know that nothing at all mentioned in that article even comes close to the reasons I like my developers to be here.

For those of you who are looking to make  couple hundred grand a year doing what you love, please stop grouping together with people in the same situation, and maybe - just maybe - start taking some advice from the people who can actually make it happen

(another audible sigh)

Maybe I'm being jingoistic, but I really feel that there's an "umph" that developers in the US have that isn't as readily available elsewhere.

On the upside, getting used to home based developers is one small step towards getting used to offshoring, which is what we all want at the end of the day anyways, right? ;-) 


Anyone out there who is wondering why offshoring is booming, please read this thread from the beginning.
