The biggest problem facing us is convincing executive types that we present a better long-term ROI. It's much the same battle as getting executives to buy into QA/QC efforts. Shoddy code, or code written by offshore programmers (not necessarily shoddy, but often you get what you pay for) may be cheap and quick, but you'll pay over and over again in the amount of support and re-work needed.

As a coder I take exception to that remark. However I am opposed to "protections" for any industry in America. if we have to lower our prices and standard of living to compete so be it. In the long run that's better anyway. It combats inflation lol. As a coder I take exception to that remark.
