You'd think your point would be obvious, Tanguy. Thousands of companies all over the world employ development and operations teams to bring their ideas to life and keep them healthy and growing.

Are they fools? No, they know that their success is driven by the talent on their payrolls.

They don't troll for $10/hr rentacoders who promise FIAW ("Facebook in a Week").

When a company does not have the budget to stock talent full-time, they can ensure operational standards by having that talent on retainer. Or they can flail about with dolts, who, to their credit at least, charge exactly what they're worth.

Bottom line: You get what you pay for. It's that simple, but it's one of those little life lessons that some people seem to ignore, and ignore, and ignore until it's too late.
