Another wild assumption of yours... gosh, what you won't do to score cheap debating points. I guess it beats actually dealing with the content of the post in an adult manner instead of like a "sensitive" IT professional with a fragile ego. BTW, I'm sure you'd be surprised to hear me tell you that I would be tickled pink if I could offload IT projects to Indian programmers and get back a decent result. Unfortunately, the time and resources required to prepare absolutely concise specifications (an absolute must for outsourcing projects or you're insane) up front is often not practical, considering that a typical IT project evolves and rarely resembles in the end what it was originally initiated as. We've been there done that... and we probably won't do that again until the quality is reliable and real savings are achieved. Received on Fri Feb 25 2005 - 02:42:59 CST
