They are cheap. 
This is what makes them $good (or $better) than local programmers.<p>In my experience, they&#x27;re the same as any programmer: you have to filter ten to get a good one.  But since they are cheap, companies invest less time to filter them out, so you should be prepared to scramble to correct all the bug and implement all the missing features two weeks before release... At every release until you find a good one!
