- nurettin 2y agoI used to frequent rentacoder back in the 2000s. Got very good reviews, landed $20-50 a day doing C++/pascal/opengl homework for the first-world dunces. Then came the horny indian programmers. (we called them that on yahoo! chat because all they wanted in life was to marry up to a US/Canada lady and migrate). They would put in half the effort for 1/10th of the price and my gig was quickly over.
