Kerry - You raise a great point. As developers, we're often at the mercy of our managers' decisions. That situation didn't even cross my mind when I wrote this! I guess I've gotten used to working for a great company where those kinds of things don't happen.

Jeffrey - My thoughts exactly. However, I don't think that outsourcing is a fad. I think we live in a world that wants to globalize its workforce, and will find ways to do so intelligently (which is not the way that it has been done by most companies so far). I think that globalization is a good thing in many respects.
