    Doctors and lawyers charge you pretty coins for every advice they give. You wouldn't think twice asking a geek an advice. We should do the same to make our advice more valuable too.

    They can do so because you need them. Once a dev cannot be missed, the same applies.

        Doctors and lawyers do give out free simple advice to friends and family if they want to.

        I'd rather be phishing!

            The reason IT has developed so quickly and been so beneficial to so many is largely because if the open-handed generosity that many developers have when it comes to sharing knowledge. It's one of the things I really value about the developer community - the willingness to share knowledge and help others for nothing.

              That wouldn't make the advice more valuable, just give it a higher price.

                :thumbsup:I concur. As the lone programmer in a business with over 500 staff members, I could not do my job half as well without the very valuable and free advice of our Code Project community.:java:

                        Not if you live in a civilised country.

                        Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
