John Miano's article is the best discussion about softare development and cost that I've seen - thanks for sending it along! Employers would do well to tackle the challenge of project management before tackling cost savings... cheaper programmers don't mean cheaper software development...! Lucille,

Just when I thought the commoditization of "human resources" and recruiting had hit bottom, a new site comes along to lower the bar. As one who works in an industry where human skill remains the ONLY competitive advantage, Dayak.com gives me one big hope: That my competitors are wasting their time and burning their reputations in this new "recruiting marketplace."

It's just like rentacoder.com for software developers (that's literally the name of the website, I'm not making up a funny name). Basically people who either can't get work professionally or want to cut their teeth learning programming bid to develop for pennies on the dollar. People looking for software talent on rentacoder.com are like people looking for recruiters on Dayak.com -- bottom feeders. Yep, good article.
