Why would you ever offshore again now that we have LLMs? Offshored work was famous for its terrible quality and high prices, you'd just have to go back on everything, sit in a ton of useless meetings, make sure that you had very, very detailed design documents with every little piece accounted for.

Now you can put those detailed documents into the LLM and get a better result back in a couple of hours rather than weeks for a tenth or hundredth of the cost.

And the offshore devs are going to be using the LLMs themselves, why add another layer, level of bureaucracy, language barrier in between your requirements and the result?

There are plenty of folks that either don’t have a sense of pride or ownership for the products they are associated with. Or, they just do not have a deep sense of what it actually takes to ship quality products. You’d be surprised at how some less desirable places to practice software engineering are run.
