    i worked on a project where i worked with one programmer in china, another in the Ukraine. (this was chosen for me, not my idea)

    the guy in Ukraine quit working (without notice) but i became good friends with the guy in china

    he wrote quality code and always followed directions...he was a phd student looking for additional income (worked 20 or so hours a week at 22 $'s an hour)

    i made sure to build a relationship, not "get cheap programming services"...it allowed me to partner with people that just happen to be in a different location

    i would probly not choose this type of arrangement, but it wasn't hard to do...he programmed when i was asleep and i when he was asleep...

    so, my point is: it can work out good

    there are people everywhere who can do the work

    i hate it more when they hire "Jimmy the nephew" to do work

    heck, i don't want those clients anywayz...half my recent projects have been helping people fix the crap that others left behind...sucks

    this is too long and i need sleep
