Vijosh,

No offense meant.  I specifically did -not- name any particular country
or people (other than US programmers) on purpose.

The point I was trying to make, is that outsourceing code development is
happening and it happens because it is cost effective.

And you are correct in that the 1:24 ratio is a monetary example, not a
reflection upon the number of people -needed- to do the job.  Even a 1:2
cost ratio allows for a company to hire two people to bounce around
ideas and cross check each others work.
