Hey, so I've been programming (as a hobbyist and a professional) for 20 years. The key thing to note is that all of these are things that don't require access to an existing codebase. All these projects could be done within 4 hours by someone talented and reasonably experienced. Combine that with the fact that we take care of finding the clients and offering same day payment, I think it's a fair deal. >How do you assess the real level of complexity of a project in order to determine its price ? One thing I should mention is, as I said, I'm a super experienced programmer [1], so I analyze each project and do the work of dissecting into what needs to be done. I provide links to helpful APIs and help provide suggestions of ways to tackle the problem. So once I know what needs to be done, I do a bottom up estimate of how long it would take for me to do each microtask. I then multiply each time estimate by the market hourly converted rate for a San Francisco Silicon Valley startup software engineer and sum. I put that bid into the Slack channel, and if someone good takes it, that's that, but if nobody bites, I raise it by ~$15 every so often. There are 400+ people in Slack currently, and at any given time there's 20+ experienced developers online. Tasks are usually snatched up pretty quickly. The bottleneck in the system currently isn't experienced devs, but qualified businesses and entrepreneurs. [1] But not a truly great one, like Ada Lovelace, Adam D'Angelo or John Carmack.
