I hate Craig's List!

[Ennis Ray Lynch Jr]

I am tired of fielding emails were people have a budget of $100 and want to know how long I can complete 10 to 40 hours worth of work. I think next time I go to my mechanic for serious repair I am going to tell him I have a budget of one hundred dollars and see what he says. Ok, so this isn't a complete complaint: Bob Barr is running for POTUS. Now maybe I have someone to vote for.

Easy - you can complete the work they can afford in 45 minutes.

Read your blog entry from Apr 29th as well... I agree. But maybe Craig's List isnt the best place to look for contract work? Think about the audience that uses it - they want to spend as little as possible and really dont care about quality or properly developed applications. I say we all Unionize! There will never be another unpaid minute of OT and when corporate America tries to outsource, we sue. Just like the plumber's union did when they tried to build a sky-scraper in Philadelphia WITHOUT PIPES! The result? The developer HAD TO put the pipes in even if they use flush-less toilets "just in case". I used to be so against that method of strong-arming but not its hitting me in the wallet, on the dinner table and in the gas tank as well. A software developer's union!
