Ask HN: Outsourcing front end?

2 pointsby fedeisasalmost 10 years ago
I hear that many (young) startups outsource their frontend coding. Can anyone give me some advice on how they integrate those frontends? I&#x27;m interested in the workflow between frontend devs and the backend app.<p>They work on different repos? The frontend guys work directly with the template engine? Or they deliver pure HTML and a backend dev makes the integration? Do the outsourced frontend devs have full access to the app&#x27;s code?<p>Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I worked on multiple projects where the front end work was out sourced. The kind of work you get back is generally quite detached from modern standards. In the end I have spent a lot of time trying to fix what an outsourcing agency made and would say that any time saved in the short run was lost in the long run. Just remember you spend more time reading code then writing it.

I don&#x27;t want to be negative, but I think many horror stories begin with &quot;outsource their front end coding&quot;. If possible, do not do it!
