It's this thinking that got everybody in trouble last time. A trend doesn't write your program. There was a certain "you get what you pay for" reflected on the quality of code many businesses received from outsourcing. Putting in the work and developing relationships with your remote contractors, and paying them well, makes for great partners that deliver high quality software. It's the penny-wise-pound-foolish manager that drank too much of the hype koolaid that found themselves with piles of terrible barely working code.
Outsourcing, like LLMs, are a relationship and not a shortcut. Keep your expectations realistic and grounded, and it can work just fine.
