Hiring one good programmer is much cheaper than hiring 100 mediocre programmers

This is a little bit of hyperbole. But, I fundamentally understand your point. I fire 8 out of 10 programmers I hire.

If you are short on monetary capital and long on human capital, then you have to intelligently organize the usage of your resources by having run-of-the-mill workers do the bulk of run-of-the-mill work and gifted people do the more minor amount of important technical work. You are expending your extra human capital to manage and organize this type of circus in the place of not having adequate financial capital.

This is why major corporations routinely outsource. They're in it for the money and have already done the math. Outsourcing is ultimately more profitable than not. It doesn't make it "right", it just is as it is. An average worker does not equal incompetent. You have to match the worker to the work. There are numerous variables that affect this and is not a one size fits all solution.

Yet, if platforms like Bitchute can manage to intelligently bring a product to market without unlimited funding and eventually start becoming successful, it's not because they were dumb, worthless, scum morons as you often "imply" even if most their code was written by Indians.

There's some interesting psychological dynamics with you evidenced here that is a sub-text to your frequent "scum" descriptors. But, perhaps that's a conversation for another day.
