Went to an "IT Expo" today. Stopped at a booth where they said they provide programming services. Had a sign that said "Senior Programmers: $14.99 an hour". Guy looked at me and said "you look like you have a question". I told him I wondered how the Hades he found senior programmers who would work for $15 an hour. Then I saw the sign that said outsource. Maybe Bob in Elbonia.

Many businesses make decisions based on quarter-to-quarter profits, so...  That ground-up rebuild further down the road doesn't matter.

TheGreatAndPowerfulOzYou get what you pay for.
That's why when I buy stuff - like our car, camera, TV, etc. I always buy it from the most expensive vendor. I just know deep inside that paying those extra dollars will add to the purchase in subtle but glorious ways!

It might be even worse. If they're charging $15/hour, that means the actual "senior" dev is making a fraction of that. (About a third, based on the last fraction I heard)
