Outsourcing usually means hiring cheap, low-quality third-party labor and firing/not hiring skilled, trained full-time employees. Whether this is from another country or not is unrelated.
The situation described in the article has nothing to do with outsourcing, but building a remote team, both foreign and domestic.
Using the term "outsourcing" does a disservice to those employees. Since the Midwest was mentioned specifically, I had a similar reaction to the one you had for my comment.
As a Midwesterner, I am slightly put off by the use of the term "outsourcing" in the title. Considering the term wasn't used in the article I feel it carries negative connotation. Maybe I am reading too deeply into this...
It's funny because I find myself going the other direction from server-side page generation to angular.
One of the main reasons is angular forces you to separate your controller logic from DOM manipulation. Without directives I tend to see a pile of jQuery on every page.
OP here, trying to get some feedback on these videos I made. They seem to be well received so far. I am trying to get newbies interested in web development with Python. Let me know how I did!
