I consider our developers as real engineers, they are very very good, they respect the design pattern, they takes 60-70% of the time to think and plan properly, then the rest to do the code. It's a bit longer at the beginning and it's very scalable.

But before being on this side of the track, I've been on the other side. I got screwed by many developers, had to redo jobs which had cost in 6 figures, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars if not over a million.

So I understand those guys who are looking for cheap developers, and those who have been promised if they pay more at the beginning, they would save on the long run with scalability, which they are still searching where is the saving.

And honestly, I've hired a lot of developers since I'm in business, and I can easily say that 1 on 3 was not good. You seems to be a good coder kazymjir, just remember you're one on not much to be good.

And I forgot, there is a portion of people that are not educated. People that need development for a project, and gets 2 quotes at 10000$ and one at 30000$, it's quit hard to convince of the scalability. Even though we are in Montreal and have developers pretty expensive (but less than in the US), we're having hard time to make prospects to understand why it's more expensive than the guy in his basement, at the end the prospect still thinks he will get his product working...
