Interesting. Cool idea. Thanks for the post!
Just guessing, but wouldn't it work better as a 2-phase process? Phase 1 you set a price on automated acceptance tests. Phase 2 developers bid on how much to write code to pass the tests. That, and perhaps required paired-programming, should address the quality issues you're probably going to face just setting a price on code slinging.
- shaharsol 11y agoThis is something worth thinking about. Of course time, and experience, will tell. We wanted to keep it as simple as possible, and as disruptive as possible to the current employment/contracting process that goes "offline", so we decided to start the way we did. We're not shutting our ears though for ideas.
