The problem is not the low price of the outsourced developer but the outsourcing managers.

Most managers do not control outsourced IT projects because they don't want to or - if business managers - they can't because of a lack of knowledge. I've seen that dozens of time.

Cheap outsourcing itself is kind of a problem in this case. The best Indian engineers just don't work in cheap outsourcing places, they work for proper companies with better salaries. You just get the worst developers who can't find any better by using these methods.

the article talks about long review cycles which imo implies the managers were involved
