          It's also the biggest site for customers ripping off developers who deliver REAL code. But, moreso, the biggest site for "developers" to go show customers that they really can't write code.

              I felt a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of substandard developers and cheap arse clients suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terribly good has happened.

                            Couple questions, if you don't mind. 1. Are you making a living off of it or is this part-time work? 2. 30 projects is a lot. How big and long is an average project? 1 month? 2 months? 3. What, on average, do you get paid per hour for the work?

                              Average first project - less that a week. Average next projects (after you're proven reliable to the buyer) - about 1 month.

                              I'm paid per-project, not per-hour. First project (see above) - usually less than $100 ($70 on average). Next projects - $500+. I'm a C/C++/ASP.NET/Javascript developer.

                                Hi everyone. Several hours ago the site RentACoder.com (the biggest freelancing site) disappeared for me - I mean that I can't enter the site. All browsers I try say that server drops the connection. Can please anyone try? (just try to load the www.rentacoder.com) Thanks in advance.

                                      I'm paid per-project, not per-hour. First project (see above) - usually less than $100 ($70 on average). Next projects - $500+. I'm a C/C++/ASP.NET/Javascript developer.

                                      I can't even imagine those first two (last on your message) matching up with this statement. $100 for a week project? $500 for a month? My part time work pays more than your week in a single day. Pop those up a factor of 10 and you have a living.

                                        Now I feel another disturbance in the force.... as if a million developers shook their collective heads in dismay and rolled their eyes all simultaniously.

                                          These were the numbers for a single project. At any given time, I have 2 or 3 jobs running. Got the point? :)
