Let me clear my point. Speaking about outsourcing, I was talking about offshore development, outside US.
Well, still, a lot of startups are always looking for someone, either programmer, or designer, or database developer, etc. There are also a lot of single founders. To start a startup one man is not enough. Even if you are a hacker, it's always nice to have one more hacker.
Here is my point: a lot of startups are looking for someone to join them for a tiny salary plus huge chunk of equity. So why wouldn't they consider outsources, using the same amount of money, they may not give any equity at all or just a small piece of it.
kingnothing: you sound to me like you think that outsourcers require more money, than local people. Did I get you wrong?
mercurio: I'm not talking about corporate level outsourcing, B2B. I'm talking about using power of freelancers. They still stay below the US market rates.
