Does Orbit do anything to protect contractors from bad code bases?
One benefit of contracting through a company is a long due diligence process before starting. This is helpful to set realistic expectations. Is there any process at Orbit for something similar, or is it Grindr for devs and work?

- philip1209 9y agoWe collect end-of-project feedback from both sides, so hypothetically a difficult client would eventually be surfaced in the same way as a bad contractor. We also try to keep tasks small. I think that a 10 hour task lets both sides test working together (and get paid in the process), and if things work out well - then they can continue working on tasks.
