As a software developer, I don't like the sound of that. It just gives more inertia to already troublesome issue of jobs moving off shore.

There is a threshold that a project needs to reach to be marketable to an offshore developer, but the concept of "mom and pop" offshoring sends a shiver down my spine.

I suppose that as an programmer doing this you would be spending your time gathering and validating requirements and managing assets with an aweful time differential instead of programming. Thus turning you into a project manager and business analyst that works most of their time at 3AM.
 

That assumes that you actually get more work done and that your employer is smart enough to reward you for the extra work. It seems that too many employers want to take all the credit hiring good people.
