Email alex@dr1.com I'm sure he can help you out.
He works for us, but does the odd job on the side.
He is an excellent php/mysql programmer.
I see!
Go Russians.
I guess that, yes, "you gotta love Russians programmers" because I remember making that amount in 2 days back in 1987!!!!!Robert said:If you can compete with US$250 per month full time, let me know.

You can't get good russian programmers for $250/month full time. Try $1000-$1500/month. Think they're fulltime? They're not. They're taking on extra work you don't know about. Thats why your work isn't getting done on time.
Or else they're just not that good. I have now switched to paying hourly, and I'm paying between $6-$12/hr, depending on the guy and where they are from.

That's not been my experience and you know that.
Didn't we have a chat about this a few weeks ago?
Come on, give me a break, US$1,000-1,500 per month for a Russian programmer. No person in their right mind would pay that and you know it.
I have been working with Russian guys for the past 3-4 years without a problem. Yeah, some are slow, some are fast. Some do jobs on the side, some tell you, some don't. But at US$250 per month I'm very happy and they do some of the best coding I have seen.

I have worked with approx 50 programmers across 15 countries in the last 12 months. And I now pay in that range on an hourly rate. I may adjust it slightly downward over time, but thats where I'm at. I now get GREAT work.
I'm very picky about who I work with. Its amazing how undependable they can be, or how much time a guy will waste, and I am no longer willing to tolerate it. My time is too valuable to spend it chasing down a $2/hr guy who can't be bothered getting work done.
