"Vendors don't build software, people build software"

Working with vendors is logical for big projects but an obstruction for small projects. If we eliminate the middleman, outsourcers would pay less and developers would be paid more. There'd be less bureaucracy. There'd be greater loyalty.

I hope there was an easier way for outsourcers and developers to find each other.

This behaviour is present in my country too. Surely in other countries also. It is global.
