[DUG] Work Wanted in Wellington

[David Brennan]

I find that very interesting too.

 

The difficult thing with software development is that differences in capabilities are heavily accentuated. So a good developer is several times better than an average developer while a below average developer is likely to make a negative contribution to the project (in that you would be better off replacing them with an empty seat). For reasonably complex programs the minimum bar can be higher such that anyone less than a great developer is going to be a mistake.

 

Unfortunately statistics dictates that average and below average developer are rather more common than great programmers… Maybe you got lucky with great programmers in Switzerland and got unlucky with your choices in NZ?

 

Cheers,

David.

As a Swiss Delphi Developer living in New Zealand I find that interesting. 

Switzerland isn’t exactly at the top of my mind when I think about the “value for bucks” for outsourcing work to – not because you don’t get the quality, but because salaries there are almost twice what you would have to pay here.

 

Kind regards,

Stefan Müller,
R&D Manager

Gary.

 

If you would like to send the details to me I will have a chat with them.

 

Unfortunately we have had such a bad run with Kiwi Developers we moved our R&D over to Switzerland last year where we get much more cost effective results.

 

Anyway, I’d like to assess the person myself to see if they are suitable.

 

Kind regards.
