Employing vs Outsourcing

Recently I have been seriously thinking about getting a real programmer to complete the coding for Yabbyland. This is harder than it seems. There are relatively few PHP programmers in Taiwan, and those that do are not very experienced. Outsourcing my programming to someone in Taiwan seems quite difficult.

An alternative is to hire an internal employer, a programming staff. Here is an article on this issue.
