I could out many of your "BROS" that are well known programmers and designers on this board who are flakey fucks, do half ass work, and Houdini is their middle name.

I could do the same for all the people who've dropped the ball, owe me money, and alike. However, board drama does not pay the bills. So I just drop them, and do not hire them again.

My experience mirrors that of many others on this board. I have paid top dollar, and also went the way of script sites, Indians and Pakis. One is no better than the other in end results for most.

Yes. There are some good programmers out there. I do not deny that. They tend to have a solid client base, and do not need new clients. Nor are they on GFY looking for work. Which is the point.
