I've used a lot of programmers over the years, and these guys are the better of the lot in the adult industry. Each is a little different style and skills depending on the project and what you're looking for short and long term. But each has value and I would recommend them. I used them all today for different things. At least with these guys, they tend to not disappear in the middle of a job.
Andy accounts for all of his time, which I like. He also can complete fixes in hours what takes other programmers days to complete. He is one of the best guys I have ever worked with on turn around time and quality work. I still have him handle my more complicated problems. Mike willingly uses Redmine or project management software to provide updates and such on progress. Which is a MUST HAVE for longer term projects that can be complicated. They have a stable of developers, so they can get most things completed with quality work. Konrad has a ticket system now to help with communication and such. They turn around most projects fairly timely once they get started.

Thanks BF for the shoutout as well as Markul and that very dirty white boy. I love working with all of you even if you haven't posted. I love to work with those that know what they want, are great in communication, and damn serious about their end product. I wouldn't even know if I was expensive or cheap, but I know I'm happy working with my client base, and they are happy with me. Never heard yet of an unsatisfied customer so I must be doing something right
That said, I'm very picky who I work with cos I'm a one-man band so my time is precious which means I have to choose wisely.
Getting back to costs, a recent thing I did for BF I won't charge for (that he's learning about here) because even though it took around 5hrs of my time, where I dropped everything to help him out, I forgot to start my timelogger, and in the end all I could do was give helpful pointers and not solve the problem (which I absolutely hate not being able to do). Another client, I'm in the process of building an entire custom cms for free because his circumstances are unique and he's been a great client in the past, so I'm helping him out to get his biz back on track.
I know these guys will use me again whenever that may be, so I'm losing nothing by giving my time to them when it's really required. Maybe, I'm just a fool, but I like my client base and they serve me as well as I serve them. Isn't that symbiosis?
