Up until last Thursday our kids were all in good health. Then, on Friday, they started vomiting. It was really bizarre. Long story short, that destroyed my night.
Work 9am to 7pm? Yeah, I'm up for that. Most real jobs have you work 8 hours, but you want a 10 hour chunk out of a programmer's day? Does any one stop for a minute to think that anyone else may not be on the same damn schedule as everyone else? I get up around noon, and get to bed around 5am.
What about asking for an 8 hour response time, with a guaranteed immediate response time with a smaller window? That seems reasonable.
On top of that, you want weekend work?
Okay, let's say I'm not outsourcing.
The amount that you would have to pay me would probably be more than you're willing to pay, especially since I could no longer benefit from any of the code that I write. I lose all rights to my shit. Well, let's put my library aside.
Hard work pays off in the end? Who are you trying to sell this to? Mommy's little baby can hide something for only so long if you take all of his time away.
Like I said, you need a team of Russians working for $2 per hour 12 hours per day. I hear you can get quite a few of those for $1200.
I wouldn't touch my keyboard for a lengthy project if I was offered $1200 for it. But that's just me, and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
