Being able to hire a decent Spring (or any good developer) at $10 p/h is HIGHLY theoretical.
Any with any sense will be using chatgpt anyway. It's how I've written most of it. And it's easier to just add to a working project than set one up.
But yeah, we'll see...
$10 p/h ?
are you joking? if you can find good (I don't want really great) Spring devs for under $80.00 p/h let me know.
You can hire at that rate and everyone I hired had faked their experience and could get through the interview but did a terrible job.
So we ended up firing everyone and had 3 devs for above $110 p/h that were truly awesome who got the job done.
Yeah I'll see how it goes. Tbh at the moment I expect those bottom end devs are worse than just using chatgpt directly. I'll probably have to spend more time explaining to them what I want.
Once IDE plugins can scan the majority of a codebase it'll be easier to just write a bulleted set of requirements and let it get on with it.
But anyway I was talking to a friend who's hired some great Ukrainians quite cheaply and I hear there are some good devs in the Philippines.
I plan to run multiple experiments in parallel, keep working the day job and outsource the ones that take off. So the more standardised I can make the tech stack, the faster and cheaper dev work will be.
