Well the funny fact is people outsource their project to me, after a previous("overseas") developer failed.

The article isn't bad, my problem is that in the beginning it is too damn general. Yes there are a lot of fails, but there are also successes.

My points are: - in house developers can fail just as well - outsourcing can be done right, and can be almost bullet proof - management is what really kills these types of projects

If the management is fit for the task, it can make outsourcing work.
