Subject: [gentoo-user] {OT} hire a programmer or company?

I'm debating whether I should hire an expert programmer for $X/hour,
or a company of expert programmers for $2X/hour.  It makes sense from
a financial perspective to hire programmers directly, but I wonder if
there are benefits to hiring a really good company.

I'm sorry this is OT, but I bet you guys have some seriously good
insight on this.

Thanks,
Grant
