Where I live: * US10/hour is _less than _ the minimum wage; * Inexperienced programmers start at US$30/hour; * Incompetent programmers that have had a few gigs under their belt earn US$50/hour; * Competent, experienced programmers earn US$100+/hour; I will grant that a local company has distorted pay scales for programmers. (Or maybe I should say "wanna be programmers, considering that that company has yet to deliver any software on time, that functions as advertized. (Their next announced project appears to be nothing more than a PR campaign designed to con people into thinking that the security flaws in their existing produtcs are security features that consumers don't understand.) >elance.com and hire a java developer elance.,com, and similar suffer from fatal flaws: * The result is spaghetti code; * The result is undocumented code; * The copyright on the result is owned by the coder; >Maybe he can get a better rate once the developer is aware it will be open >source and under LGPL3 an end up paying much less. Whilst you are right about the rate being different, your assumption that it will go down is not reflected by reality. >r $1000 dls bounty on FOSS.
