Keep in mind the extra you pay for contractors isn&#x27;t actually going to contractors in question. It goes to office rental, accountant, sales team, internal HR and other crap. Not to mention the contractors in question will be hassled to spend time estimating future project scopes and sometimes help out on other projects and etc. So yeah, if tech is important to you and you don&#x27;t need <i>specialized</i> skill-sets that&#x27;s rare, contracting out is always pretty fucking stupid.
