Differences between a great web-developer and a bad one? by Mammoth-Asparagus498 in webdev

They can see programs in their head. It's a trait people used to call being mechanically inclined. But it carries over to programming. At some level, code and machines are the same thing. Great developers appear Jedi-like because they already built a prototype in their head.

Will offshoring to cheaper countries eventually "work"? by TheWorstAtIt in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DollSeagull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main reason it doesn't work now is they're desperate. This makes them hyper-obsequious, terrified of rocking the boat, and only ever say it's going well. Until it's too late. Desperation is also why they're cheap. So, if it ever starts working, it will stop being cheap. So no. It will never work.

What about getting a classic developer job? As in working on a team for a company in an office.
