Every once in awhile you have a bedeviling little problem that might require the services of a programmer, but unless you’re some kind of high-up professional, you don’t have one at your disposal nor do you have the money to hire one.
Until now. Slacker Manager lets us in on a nice little service that, up until now, I had no idea about:
I had a simple bit of php/css coding that needed doing on the blog. Usually I just try to stumble through that stuff on my own, but I just didn’t have the time or inclination on this one. Plus, I’d been curious about using sites like Rentacoder, so this seemed like a good excuse. I set up an account, had my PayPal account verfied and submitted a project for bid.
I began getting project bids within about an hour and eventually racked up about a dozen or so bids, ranging from $8 to $50 (I know!). The first coder that responded was the one that I ended up using–devdive (RAC profile here) was super responsive and easy to work with. I ended up paying $25 via PayPal for a few modifications to a stylesheet and a php file. Easily worth the time savings for me.
Me too. Frankly, I can’t program anything (except MS SQL, which I know REALLY well) but this is just brilliant. A technical staff for the average guy. What a great time we live in.
