    i mean, we should stop hiring business consultants to write software lol

    there are small/local consultancies that actually do a great job: just like hiring a team of contractors

    large multinationals with a focus on accounting and business with “oh also we do salesforce” is the real problem… they optimise their costs rather than focusing on quality

      Or we could benefit by having a permanent team who will be cheaper in the long-run, because of familiarity with the systems and projects they build and maintain.

      Hiring outside consultants of any kind for a permanent government requirement is pure insanity (or in reality, grift) if you ask me.

      I’m sure there are consultancies who do a great job. The actual employees are usually not the problem.

      But let’s just give those same employees a permanent job and cut out the middle men who are offering no value whatsoever.
