alt Hacker NewsYou don't need top engineers to port a program from one language to the other. Outsource it to India.
Of course, then you can also ask, could it have been done with a cheaper model. Probably yes. But then you wouldn't get free marketing.

Outsourcing to India would actually be the disaster the naysayers were saying this would be.

Have you seen the "rewrite by outsourcing to India" thing work?

I agree you probably don't need top-dollar bay-area engineers for this, but hardcore outsourcing to a LCOL probably isnt going to work either due to novelty and generally being setup to do the more rote thing (generalizing a ton here obvi). This feels like something in the middle.
