Does anyone have experience outsourcing software development? I know that James Altucher said he found his programmers for stockpickr.com on Craig's List and that they were in India. Is that the best way to find these guys? Is there a better way that you have found?

Has anyone gone down this road before? If so, would you do it again? I know that they're cheap (is it worth it?), but what should I be wary of?

If anyone could shine just a little light into this arena for me I would appreciate it, I can provide more information if you wish.
