   I have ported a programming game http://terrariumjs.wiselabs.net a while ago (javascript). You can write the AI of a herbivor or carnivor, and try to invade other people's terrariums :) The documentation is a bit lacking though.

   I find it hard to justify $150/month ($1800 per year) for analytics :(

   What tools do you guys use to be able to track these metrics? Mixpanel I imagine is one of them?

   People who can't afford to be paid $12/h don't apply for the job. Usually, I think Ukraine / Belarus / Romania web developers are ok with $12/h.

   The miniproject is not the reason why I hired him. I was hiring a web developer to help me work on weekplan ultimately, the developer over the course of the year will cost me much more than 6h*3 worth of work.

    The second candidate was offering $8/hour. They are competing with each other, this is the ugly side of this type of bidding marketplaces.

    Not everything can be outsourced. Like someone said in the comments, it is harder to outsource a new project, much easier when you are set the conventions in place already. Also a lot of companies still need face to face. I am a freelancer

    Why do you think it would result in better result? You are assuming people from countries with higher cost of living would do a better job than people from countries with a lower cost of living. This is just not true.

    1. Someone paid $12/hour is actually a good pay in some regions of the world. Even paying a virtual assistant $5/hour in the Philippines make sense financially for them. So don't feel bad, you allow someone to be paid well and have great fl

    I left a comment on the blog but I thought I might get some reactions here: Excellent post. I have two advices: 1. Don’t quit your job. Why do so many people fall for the glamourous “all in” scenario? I work three days a week as a freelance

    I love the design, and the pictures in the search results :) What I find annoying is the search results show dated prices and when I want to book I get a higher price. I am surprised no one mentioned this in this discussion, isn't that a hu

    I am currently working on a SPA using knockout.js and asp.net MVC in the back end. There is no server side rendering whatsoever. The performance is pretty good. The page does take some time in html parsing + js execution. But I think I can
