As if the remote developers weren't writing spaghetti code or removing vital parts. At least the AI understands intention. A few years ago, one of the Indian developers removed the checkout button from an e-commerce site because I told him there was a specific issue at checkout and I described it in detail. His solution was not letting people check out for 1 whole day until we caught the issue after 300+ emails overnight. Even ChatGPT 3.5 is more logical. And this guy was a senior, certified Magento developer. Another Ukrainian developer inserted a card skimmer at the checkout, and we caught it in 2 days. This was also a certified developer. I can list the nightmare stories for days. I am just so happy not to be dealing with these people anymore; end of story.
Don't get me wrong, we still pay for Local real developers, and if we catch them doing dodgy stuff, we hold them accountable. It is so rare compared to what we've dealt with overseas developers.
I am so happy I don't pay these lying remote developers thousands of dollars anymore, and we can do it all with a much smaller, smarter local team.
