                                          I do not understand how people can scream about "theft" and such, but $1800 for a full time programmer with 8 years experience seems to be ok. If you hire a full time programmer for that money then you deserve it to be stollen from!

                                            On the other hand, if the same people build this page http://www.idsadult.com/adult-programmers.html (and linked) then it's probably overpaid!

                                                        I think he means you had a problem on that page earlier today, with the page all fucked up, now it seems fixed

                                                        anyway, I might be needing something extended in time (ie every day) but not 8 hours, just maybe 1 hour a day at most, probably not even that (eg some days he may need to answer one request and some days nothing).

                                                          Well, I was more trying to make a point how bad this stinks. It's seems to pass by all you guys who think it's a good idea to hire an "experienced programmer" for about $10 an hour before tax. In my book that can only mean 2 things, or you as a client get cheated or his developers. One way or the other, somebody is getting fucked over big time!

                                                          I do not understand why you guys keep supporting the "tube sites" of my profession. There is no way an honest programmer, who would like to have a normal meal at least once a day also, can compete with this (not even mentioning the $5 or less an hour from India you see these days).

                                                          A fucking power coder for just about $10, and that does not ring any bells???

                                                          PS, maybe the mods should move this to the theft forum or whats its name.

                                                                  well, owning a design company I understand what you mean, but on the other hand you have to keep in mind this:
                                                                  1) Most coders I know BEG to make $1800 a month. I know many coders that charge high rates per hour but they're always trying to get a client, because they get no work
                                                                  2) $1800 isn't top money, but it's pretty decent in many countries. Even in Europe.
                                                                  3) $1800 in Argentina is a decent income, but once the outsourcing company gets their slice, it isn't a good salary, so I know I won't get the super coder with the super service. But, for what I need him/her, it's enough. On the other hand, Argentina's coders are rated between the best in the world and because of that, there was a lot of work and high salaries for them. Thus, everybody tried to become a coder and now there are way too many coders. Now I can get a computer engineer for $1800, as simple as that, so their price isn't out of this world nor too low

                                                                  Anyway, like I said last week in a similar thread: just provide a good service trying to keep your prices competitive and clients will come alone... after paying the magic outsourcing company that charges 1/5 of your rate (or less) and then get empty handed as usual.

                                                                    That makes a lot of sense and thanks also for your post. IMHO the programmer gets cheated, even if he lives in Argentina. I was checking for the salaries here in Europe (where I'm based) and I can assure you, for that money it's even hard to find a junior developer, let alone an experienced one.

                                                                    The biggest issue with all these companies is that you and me have to prove ourselves over and over again because they fuck up the market. Not only in terms of rates, but just giving coders/designers and the likes a bad reputation because they cant deliver what has been agreed on. AFAIK there is even a lot of caution mentioned in one of the GFY educational posts.

                                                                    I'm in the process of moving from being an in-house developer with a decent fixed salary to a freelancer. I practically have to work for free to even get noticed. So for now I stopped that (I probably try again soon) because I really had to get some food on the table.

                                                                    But listen, I understand that you have to start "low", even if you are already experienced. I would not mind to work for $10 to $15 per hour on a small project (one to two weeks) just to give the client confidence in my experience and such. But it has to come from both sides. But I do not get the impression that the OP had that in mind.

                                                                    Anyway, "you get what you pay for" … sometimes

Basically a tech savvy guy who can provide some support on our scripts in a forum. Could you do that? If so, please send me a quote to webmaster + fdsign + com

It's seems to pass by all you guys who think it's a good idea to hire an "experienced programmer" for about $10 an hour before tax. In my book that can only mean 2 things, or you as a client get cheated or his developers. One way or the other, somebody is getting fucked over big time!

                                                                        I do not understand why you guys keep supporting the "tube sites" of my profession. There is no way an honest programmer, who would like to have a normal meal at least once a day also, can compete with this (not even mentioning the $5 or less an hour from India you see these days).

                                                                        A fucking power coder for just about $10, and that does not ring any bells???

                                                                        PS, maybe the mods should move this to the theft forum or whats its name.

You cant even maintain your own business website so yeah, big and important affiliates probably had a lot of fun cleaning up afterwards.

Or you lie about his experience of you fuck the dude over. But you are so confident about yourself, tell your guys about this thread. Or even better, send them over here, they can make 4 to 5 times what you pay them to start with, you cheating dickhead.

Day in and day out you see these threads about tube sites and people ripping of others by stealing content and the likes. But if I call out this bastard who is clearly abusing his own then you start crying about my comments.

                                                                                      And about proof, read his first post. An experience programmer for $1800 a month is proof enough that this stinks. So ban me? please do. It's probably better for my health.

You're selling these guys for $10/hour, so assuming they're lucky, let's say they get $8/hour. In Canada, you get more than that working at McDonalds, for example. Why worry about the responsibilities and stress that come with being a developer, if you can make more flipping burgers and smoking weed all day?

They are apples and oranges.

                                                                                        The facts are the facts. Western coders simply will not work for 2nd and 3rd tier country rates, and are endlessly being undercut by these guys. This causes a source of frustration, and western coders equate more money for them with a better product. I have hired coders from all over the world, including U.S. and Canada.

Those in the U.S. blow deadlines just like those in UK, Poland, India and use the same excuses.

                                                                                        While I do not fault you for trying to get more money, and thinking that quality always comes with a higher price tag. That is not always the case. It comes down to the cost of living of that coder, and more often times than not, being undercut by Russians, or Paki's who do comparable work for a lower price.

                                                                                            you were pissed that he didnt praise your almighty work at finding an HTML bug and then you went on and on about how you are overqualified and programmers should be paid top dollar.

I have no idea what the tax is at your country but let's assume it another third. That leaves him with about $800. $300-$400 for his apartment so he still has $400-500 left.
