Haha this is the business model for every project I've ever worked on in Tech is.

Hire low paid developers to 'save money' at the start.

Low paid developers present working prototypes that aren't scalable or maintainable but the biz people don't know that ,they just see working demos.

Years later the app is a nightmare and the low paid devs have moved on and now they have to pay out the nose to get people to actually work on their stuff.

And so it goes.

You forgot the part where they keep trying to lowball competent developers, struggle to find someone willing to duct tape their system together for "competitive" pay, and throw their hands up declaring there's a Shortage Of Developers™.
