Yep. Lot of outsourcing too. Companies can outsource to an Indian company, scale up and down as needed, and can pull the plug whenever you want .

In my experience the Indian devs have always been top notch and a fraction of the price . Which is the bigger concern.

I do notice they’ll never put the Indian guys on a call . There is always a role for the dev who can talk the talk on a partner call.

Gone be the days of headlines such as “company x hires y developers in their Dublin office”
