It probably depends on the project but we might be able to share. I seem to recall Jeff or Evan using pair programming on some client projects (can't remember exactly). @John: Good point about how much management subcontractors need.

I would have enjoyed more discussion about the types of tasks you tend to use subcontractors for, and just a little more in depth on the nature of the arrangement. (eg. how detailed are the requirements you give them, do you go over test cases, etc.) I'm at that point where I have more work than I can handle, but I'm also not sure about how to find good subcontractors, and manage them. (especially knowing that it will initially decrease my velocity to bring them on board) Another fine show!
