I agree with many of his points, but I think it very much only applies to the burgeoning stages of a bigger vision or a solo ran / small vision product.
As many, many successful entrepreneurs have said before, outsourcing will absolutely not equate to quality in the long run. You need more control over execution to build the best product.
Now don't get me wrong, I respect Patrick for the business he's built - it's a lot more than most. We should all give props.
For sure. But if you're in certain competitive markets you are going to need to eventually level up those checkable areas either before the competition or in response.
Also, I'd like to think nothing is irrelevant. If it really doesn't matter at all, why are you even outsourcing it?
