[ale] OT: How developers can survive offshoring

[Charles Shapiro]

Followed by "Rise and Ressurrection of the American Programmer" (1996).

Yourdon also wrote "Time Bomb 2000: what the year 2000 computer crisis
means to you" (1998), but I have not yet seen a follow-up to that
<irony> seminal work. Oddly,</irony> both "Decline and Fall" and "Time
Bomb" are now out of print.
