I don't agree with this at all...full payment? heck no...but there is nothing wrong with paying a coder a certain % upfront.

I'm a designer...and I require between 10% and 50% upfront (depending on the size of the job)...why do I do this? because the scamming goes both ways...3 times i've done something for someone that took over a week...once worth in the $xxxx...and i was kind hearted and said they could pay me when done...well...they never paid. Granted i didn't give them the work...but still it wasted a week of my time...so saying that the coder should never ask for something upfront is just a little too harsh...
