Okay, this is kind of off topic, but I don't know where else to ask. I know there are a few independent contractors on the list. I am a software developer with 10 years experience on various platforms and languages. Luckily I've managed to steer clear of Windows. I have been asked to do some freelance work by a friend. It is a Java based server that will be running on Linux(see not completely off topic) and accessing data in a MySQL database. What would be a reasonable hourly rate to ask for? I have no idea what the current rates are. It's a 24x7 server that will be accessed directly by a cell phone app. It's a fairly simple server app. I figure about 80 hours of work.
