Outsourcing Software Development to Asia

Lecture Description

Winblad talks about how whole projects are not outsourced.  The core technology is separated and written, while incremental pieces that would be done linearly are outsourced abroad.  There are a lot of talented architects and developers around the world, she notes, but they do not have the vision to be inventors.
