Mark Osborne explains why developers who just say yes to every request cost more in the long run. Teams that encourage developers to flag problems and suggest better solutions avoid hidden risks and suboptimal code, even when working with nearshore or offshore teams.
Well, and I think that's something that people don't think about a lot. And I've had the experience of working with developers in both nearshore and offshore Latin America, as well as India and Eastern Europe. And the difference between working with someone who's a real advisor who says, so I see that you asked me to do A, B, and C. Did you think about X? No, I didn't think about X. That's why I hired you. And so someone that's going to, you know, sort of call out those potential vulnerabilities versus a cultural difference where it's more like, you asked me to do ABC, here you go, ABC as fast and cheap as possible, even though they're thinking to themselves, what a dumb way to do it. Yeah. You know, they might even have the expertise to know that there's a better way to solve a particular problem. But you asked for it to be done ABC, and that's what they do.
