One of the hardest problems in programming is naming--variables, function names, abstractions, etc. A larger vocabulary (in English, the lingua franca of programming,) will enable someone to write better names.
Time zone issues are a bit of a pain, but manageable. As long as you don't have to meet with them daily, you (or they) simply schedule the once-every-week-or-two-weeks meeting at a time that can work (a little earlier in the morning or later in the evening). It was quite customary to leave early or start late on some days to make up for having a 1-2 hour meeting in the evening or early morning. This is well understood.
To be clear: Those developers were "first class" employees - treated similarly to the ones in the US.
