As a CTO at my company, I’ve done a lot of investigating of offshoring general cost saving for software development and my conclusions are that you can save ~50% in development costs by hiring a remote/distributed team outside SFBA/superstar cities and offering people a truly remote and autonomous job that doesn’t demand them being on their computers 9-5 and treats them like adults. We have a long track record of hiring extremely motivated and talented developers by offering them this basic non monetary compensation (freedom and trust lol). No need to worry about time zones or cultural differences, just measure folks on output and tell them it’s fine if they want to spend their afternoon with their kids and work mornings and evenings or whatever.
