Nah, because they're in Argentina. We pay them something like US$7 an hour. Now, if you start comparing how long it takes them to do something versus someone in-house, you might have an argument, but each project is so different it's hard to compare them.

The company's so small, I only have two superiors, and they're both pretty equally responsible for putting us in the situations we're in. But it did get slightly better today: a new programmer was hired who genuinely knows how to use the application he's supposed to be programming in, and they gave him exclusively to me for the first two weeks. Already this afternoon he solved in an hour what the completely unqualified "programmers" couldn't solve in a week and a half.
