Hi, Lachlan de Crespigny co-founder of Revelo here (my cofounder is quoted in the article). This is absolutely a trend and I really believe it is a massive benefit for the US and for Latin America - more innovation in the US and more good quality jobs in Latam. Once your team is remote, as long as the developers are technically strong, speak English, and work in your timezone, why do you care at all where the person is based? Do you even know where they are working out of? Culturally Latam devs are pretty similar to US devs, they have proven their technical chops with a bunch of mega-success companies built by Latam devs, and there is less Latin senior executives in the US so it is not as competitive to hire as Asia.
