I was hoping for a thoughtful article about a US company's experiences with offshore development.

What I got was a very thinly veiled advertisement and business case for Bridge Academy. Originally I thought it was an offshore staffing firm, but having looked at their site I can't tell what it's supposed to be.

I think it's an offshore staffing firm that's ashamed of admitting it's an offshore staffing firm, with the twist that the candidates pay, once hired, rather than the hiring companies. In exchange, they get some sort of nebulously defined training and mentoring for an undefined price. Oh, and the mentors get a commission when candidates are placed.

Top it off with a blockchain-focused curriculum and a list of blockchain-obsessed hiring companies and it all feels... naïve, I guess would be the right word. Young. Enthusiastic.

Of all the different projects to outsource for, something block chain related, specifically crypto coin related would be the very last.

Why?

Because is someone sneaks in a backdoor or otherwise tries to make off with a bunch of crypto, good luck extraditing an overseas worker to get the money back. You have to trust your employees, but at least it's a little more difficult to skip out on justice when you are in the same country as your employees.
