Hello everyone. I just had an interesting talk with someone who requested sort of php panel job and got quoted some serious bucks for the job which i consider pretty easy to deliver.

Anyway, you need a reliable GOOD coder, i'm here for work. What can i do? Well, i had been doing about everything, i started on a security consultant company developing exploits for windows/linux systems. I coded lots of different stuff in C, such like drivers for some easy to handle hardware, did some LKM ( Loadable Kernel Modules ) for linux, ( wont enter much into detail of what this is as probably no one here would need such a job ), off course during the process of developing all this stuff in linux you have to understand how servers internally work, so i have a strong knowledge of networking protocols ( TCP/HTTP/ETC ). Anyway, i'm a serious coder which while developing a product take into consideration server needs which not much coders actually do ( I always try to make soft as quick as posible, try to cache stuff, etc ).

Anyway, in the last couple of years i had been submitting galleries and working on some projects which had not seen the light yet, but lets say that i had been doing some serious work on PHP, Python, JavaScript, MySQL, etc.

Anyway, you have a normal job any web coder can do? I will do it faaaaar better than anyone here can ........ The best thing, when i develop something, i always try to do them scalable, which means that if your project grows, you wont need to make patches to the software, off course this makes the development process a "little" bit slower, but at the end its better for the client in all terms ( money, time, servers merge, etc ). Anyway, after receiving a description of the product, i will let you decide if you want it scalable or not depending on the time you need the job done, i usually dont charge more for this things, when i do a job, i like it being the best and people recommend my work, so, hire me and you will be happy

Do you on the other hand have some crazy ideas no other coder could make real .... Well .... maybe i can .... drop me a few lines and we'll see

I prefer contact via msn: [email protected], same email for quotes and descriptions of work.

If you are an established / well trusted party, i wont request money in advance for the work .... I'm sure you will be happy with the final product.

Anyway, i was said that reliable coders are in instiction, here is one, lets see what i can develop, i'm in a good mood to start working on some serious coding stuff again right now ;P

btw, i take my work very seriously, while the process of developing a product, i will be always avaliable for any concerns you may have

Well, lets see what i can get hands onto?

btw, i'm can talk in spanish too, i'm actually a natural spanish speaker, SO, you can't deal with english coders, podes contar conmigo

Maybe you chose bad wording, but I translated this as "I can do a lot of stuff, but give me easy stuff that I can overcharge for."

Are your rates competitive or do you feel your experience warrants high rates? Do you work quickly or juggle a lot of projects? Are you only after "normal jobs any web coder can do"?

Also, you might want to look into getting ICQ and putting your ICQ # in your sig as that's the IM of choice for people here, if not also having a website with a portfolio or something. These days you have to make it convenient for people to look more into you and decide for themselves vs. making people get in contact with you so they can ask you a thousand questions before realizing you're not a good fit for what they need. It's not like there aren't a zillion coders out there, including many from India/Philippines who will probably do what you do with slightly less quality but for a lot less money.

I think my experience warrants high rates, still, depending on the mood and the project i get requested to do ( If i like it or its just some same shit everybody wants to get done ), i would consider bitting any offer other SERIOUS coder offered

About the portfolio and such thing, off course i will, i JUST finished the ICQ conversation with this guy and well, wrote this thread, i will be opening a site right now :P

btw, when i say: "I always try to make soft as quick as posible, try to cache stuff, etc.", i was talking about high performance, soft that doesn't kill your servers .... Not doing quick jobs .... I do serious reliable and scalable software, always taking into consideration server performance ( as i had been a server admin too ) which almost none coder does. PERIOD

comeplay

I will not talk badly of you since I have never used you for any projects, but claiming you are the best coder here might be a bit of an overstatement don't you think?

What does your end product look like?

There seems to be lots of people who can bang out excellent, clean code, but many of them seem to be totally oblivious to providing the client something that's actually usable. Considering your forte seems to be low level code such as C and linux kernels, am I by chance right in assuming the end product is visually disgusting, and difficult to use / navigate through?

I'll hit you up tomorrow. First I'll just give you a simple test on how you'd build something. If all works out, you may be added to the team.

I'm a coder, not a designer. Still, i had been the last years working on selling porn memberships ( doing galleries, paysites, etc ).

Here you have a site of my own i'm just launching: www.onaniststube.com, off course i did all the coding stuff, the design was not done by me, i actually purchased it.

So, if what you are asking is if i have a good understanding of selling products, marketing stuff and not only coding them, then your answer is YES! I had been selling memberships to all the major sponsors out there for the last 5 years. Its kinda difficult nowadays so i'm doing this coding stuff to earn some extra bucks ;P

If you are asking if i will create a good, intuitive interface so the end user can easily use it ( being such you from an administrative point of view and the surfer ) and be happy with your site, your answer is also YES!

Now, if you want that INTUITIVE and EASY TO USE INTERFACE to look fancy, then you need to hire a designer. You can't be both, good designer and good coder LOL.

I can work with any designer you hire and deal with him directly if you want, you make him do the design, i will make it work as you wish, as i always coded my stuff and then hired the designs, i always code stuff in such a way its very easy then to merge/switch designs

But again, i code, i don't do graphical designs ....

Pd: Btw, you said "low level" in the thread, you seem to be a coder too, thats technical language almost none people here uses, i'm wondering why a coder asks about my skills as a coder ;P

I love challenges

Now if it was because you wanted me to work on site, i can't do that. ( Also i don't want too, i have offers to work on site here in my country, i like working at home :P ).

Kiopa_Matt

Ok, that's all that's needed then.

It's just from my experience, alot of developers out there are excellent at typing code, but have a hard time putting themselves in the client's shoes, and viewing the end product through the client's eyes. Then in general, the geekier the developer, the less user-friendly the end product is going to be.

You know, if you end up with a guy who absolutely loves typing assembly code, and is fanscinated by robotics & linux patches, there's a good chance you'll end up with a piece of junk that's barely usable for the end-user. The code behind it might be excellent, with all the proper exceptions, nice indenting & commenting, etc... it's still unusable though.

Anyway, I'm rambling... good to know you can provide user-friendly end products though!

Exactly

Thats the difference i can do with other good coders, i had sold all different type of things in the past 5 years, handled traffic trading scripts ( built by me, not comercial LOL ), done galleries, own hybrid TGPs, etc.

Basically, i was coding and noticed that there where not people here that could code and sell at the same time. I can do both, so usually when requesting products, i end up giving nice ideas to the client he never had as it happens the other way round too .... When you don't know how to code and you know how to sell, you also miss a lot of options ;) I try to deliver both

btw, i was sure you where a coder too LOL!

Alky

you will do less scalable code for less money? what the hell? that's a red flag right there.

you either code well, or you don't.

Kiopa_Matt

It's called forward thinking. If you know what you're doing, it takes almost zero extra time, and makes for a much happier client who's going to continue doing business with you.

No bro, you need to read more carefully and stop thinking all people is not honest. ( There is a phrase in my country that says: A thief thinks everyone is of his kind ).

Coming back to your comment:

There are two types of clients, the ones that need things done for yesterday and the ones with which you can schedule work as they are not in a hurry.

For those that need stuff done for yesterday, you can't take the time to think about what features in the future his products may need. You need to quickly achieve what he is requesting today and he doesn't really care what in a future he may need, he will request it in a future.

For those who you can schedule a work line, usually those starting a project, which are more likely the ones i like as i usually dont touch other coders code, with those, i can take the time to let them know where they didn't see something may come and make their code more scalable.

Say an example, a sponsor comes and requests a script to handle all his paid members area movies content and needs it for yesterday who knows why, then you need to deliver it quickly and you wont be able to handle maybe some other sort of things you could handle if he gives enough time.

For example having in consideration that in the future he may grow and need additional servers to host their movies and from my point of view the best way to deliver that script would be to have a pool of configurable servers that you can add and take from it where the movies would be hosted, etc.

Off course if he wants it for yesterday, thats difficult to achieve and we would probably have to work with some static data, a specific not configurable servers architecture, etc.

Its all about what the client needs and how much time i have to deliver, still, i'm used to work under preasure I used to make my best works under preasure, LOL

tblocker

No bro, its called honest and responsable scheduling .... I can see in your signature you are a coder too ... I NEVER missed a dead line ..... NEVER. You will see after i start taking jobs from this board ;P

Maybe people here can say if you missed a dead line ;)

If you are a coder, a serious one, one that can actually do more than just php things, you know its not always 2 + 2 = 4 ;) So ... again .... depending on the client needs, you can deliver a more robust product than he requested or not. But off course its always delivered what he requested, what i'm saying is that if he gives time enough, i will probably give him a product which he will never need to patch ;P I know a lot of coders actually live from this LOL

Thats not how i work. You send me a request, i send you a quote, with dead line and give you usually ideas to make your product best selling / robust / etc. All included for the same price off course, but for that, you need time, if you need things done for yesterday, then you will get exactly what you requested, off course i would let the client know that if he gives me X additional days i could add X features to his product

We can all talk out the side of our neck. How about some references and sample projects. If I were to kick you some projects it would have to be through a service like oDesk for buyer protection.

Let me give you a bit of advice. It's almost 2011, so honestly, I wouldn't worry about trying to be a freelancer anymore. Either get a 9-5 office job, or start a small software company offering an exceptional product that people want. Globalization has taken its effect, plus the recession, so not many people are going to contract out to an unknown developer at say $80/hour these days. Many are going for $15/hour Filipinos these days.

Don't look for clients in this fashion. Build a wanted product and small software company / site, push the product out, provide exceptional customer service, and build your customer base from there. If you can accomplish this, and do it well, you'll have more high-end clients than you can handle. It's an uphill battle to come in as a nobody, and say, "Hey, I'm the best, and I'm here! Give me work!".

You're best off to establish a company, product, and reputation. Otherwise, people will be expecting to pay 20% of what you're worth (if you're actually as good as you say you are).

The payment is not an issue, actually, what i will do is develop the entire project under my servers and let the client interact with it. No up-front payment, once its finished, he wants it? then payment time And product will be installed on his server after payment received ;)

tblocker

Now we are respecting each others, i like that

I know that would be the best course of action, maybe i will, but again, i'm still not looking forward of building a "software development" company.

Right now i'm interested in finding a couple of nice, "complex" projects to work in, take one or two per month, and done i already got one very interesting, lets see if he can afford it :P I would have to make a sort of distributed script among different servers which is constantly checking the servers load and re-distributing load, the rest of the script its easy, i like those sort of coding/networking projects :P

btw, i also like very much coding crawlers/robots ;)

jkthedesigner

Btw, can you code an automation robot? Nothing too fancy really. It's pretty simple. Simple enough for someone from India for $15 an hour to hammer out. Just figured you might be able to do it quicker

It just mean you don't pay for complex coding if you don't need it.

LOL, well, i will do it with trusted people :P If they are not legit, we will find a way, thanks for the advice

woj

trusted or not, you are crazy if you are not taking at least 50% up front... you WILL get fucked... not sure if you've dealt with non-payment drama before, but trust me it's not fun at all...

That won't work here , you wil end up sitting on alot of product. You end up getting alot of people with big ideas and not willing to pay until the product starts bringing them money. you seem like a smart enough guy , why not develop your own shit.
