We met today and I bought him lunch and he startd going on again about the time he's putting in.

What would you do?
Would you give them more? How much more? We DID agree on a price and I didnt ask for anything additional than what we agreed on. But he keeps mentioning how much effort he's putting in and its starting to bug me
An experienced programmer always knows one thing for sure : It will take more time and work than we thought.

Our eyes are bigger than our code.




If you like the work the programmer has done so far then it's a good idea to finish the project with this programmer. It's not going be cheaper to start over with a new programmer.
