If you pay a low fee for programming work, expect missed deadlines, issues, etc...

In the end, the few bucks you saved probably cost you more in lost time and frustration.

Not saying that is the case here as it's a he-said / she-said type situation, and for all I know Bob agreed to only 5 hours work at $100/hour. But I'm just guessing that wasn't the case :upsidedow

That dosen't excuse the programmer. If he agreed to do something and isn't doing it, it's his fault.

You should refound his deposit if you're not going to finish the project.

Just by agreeing you took his deposit, and didn't finish 100 % of the work, makes it bad business.

As I said, it's YOUR fault for underbidding on a project, so you should either finish it, or give him a refound AND the work done as compensation for the time wasted.

My point exactly, and if for some reason he couldnt, give me more notice before 5 months goes by

His attitude is what fucked it up.

Banthis is what I call, a feature creep. His instructions were extremely vague and whenever I'd do something, he'd want to add several layers of complication to it that were unspecified in his project requirements. After he was well over his $1000 with me in time, the project had to take a backseat to other things. Thats what happens when you try to lowball someone. You can whine and cry about bad business all you want, but you are wrong. I'm all about good business and making money.. Not doing favors for 19 year old kids who try to weasel free work out of people.

banthis reminds me of sonofsam
