as you get older i think different things become important to you and from a dev point of view as i do a lot of outsourcing i have found that an honest personal relationship with my freelancers has served me well.
NOT a sales pitch contrived relationship, an honest understanding of who they are and letting them know who i am am.
not so long ago we all thought that our staff needed to be in the same building, then we progressed to them working from home some days, and now .........well its just the world.
i've always pitched " a whole new mind" by dan pink https://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/dp/1594481717
F me 2006 this guy saw it happening ! it will be the best $7.67 USD you ever spend and its not an affiliate link just good advice.
i've been using freelancers for many years now, its a struggle i'd admit, but my thoughts are if you don't jump on board now and learn the skills to get the best out of it you will have hassles in the future.
i personally think i am struggling to keep up so thats a huge warning to others in dev mode and i am willing to nut it all out.
the reality is , and this is my prediction , very few smb/sme websites will be produced for australian business BY australians, the winners in australia will be the ones that embrace to change and move to outsourcing, i think i posted this @ 3 years ago??
there is soooooooooooooooooo much dev business growth in australia its amazing, but the cost of using australians is prohibitive for most smb/sme's
this area of dnt is a ghost town ! i've tried for years to spark it up but it just doesn't ?
i think we need some people to say they are interested or i'll just stop posting here and look for another channel ? we all know whingep**l is crap so what else is thee?
honestly who is watching this area and likes to be involved? it time to speak up imo
