> Mind explaining what this means?
As a freelancer, what I’ve seen is requests for building a Facebook-scale social network with all the scalable infrastructure and other bells and whistles, mobile app integration, etc., sometimes for a specific community (lawyers, doctors, or some such), that offer $500 as total budget.

- tonyedgecombe 5y agoA lot of people have no idea how much work is involved in software development. It's just like magic to them. I've lost count of the number of customers who said "this should be easy, I'm sure you can knock it up in an afternoon" whilst I'm thinking there is probably two years work in what you are asking for.
