A bit ironic coming from someone who wrote the article in a slapdash hurry, with numerous grammatical, typographical and CSS errors.

"If you hire a programmer who is asking for $500 a month or more, then you will most likely be getting a real top notch developer with tons of experience and who can do ANYTHING with minimal supervision." Dear author, this is a very, very dubious claim.

It might be just true when the said developer resides in Philippines, and ANYTHING == AdSense bait throwaway project.

Indeed. Writing software is hard. Writing software that can be maintained by someone else is harder.

It is hard to ensure that what the customer wants is what the programmer is building. It is even harder when they live on different continents, have different cultural backgrounds, and different native languages.

If you want some throwaway code written, outsourcing may well be the best way to do it. If you want maintainable code that you're going to base long-term business goal on, outsourcing is less likely to produce a good outcome.

Just wanted to share some insights I have come up with...working virtually with a team which can be managed systematically to scale any business up and yep, free your time :)

I assume you upset may HN'ers by suggesting a programmer for less than $1000.

Obviously, it works for you and you are profitable on clickbank.

I appreciate the article. Don't stop posting because of negative feedback.

They didn't write it, their VA did!
