Coding is worth what someone is willing to pay- the free market system is in effect here. If a coder's prices are too high they will get little to no business. A coder that charges lower rates will often get more business. Assuming equal quality (which isn't usually true) it's up to the coder to find a "sweet spot" on the supply/demand graph. They can charge $100 and get one coding job per week or they can charge $1 and get 100 coding jobs a week- in the end they both make the same money but the guy who charges $100 still comes up ahead because he only used a fraction of the time the other guy did.

Another reality- Coding/programming and other technical things are SKILLED LABOR. Your waiter job or whatever else that is paying you "tips" is NOT skilled labor. Now yes, I know some waiters who are great at their job and I could never do it as good as they do but the fact is they are only bringing food to the table- anyone could do it. Not anyone can code. If you don't like the prices people are charging, then learn coding. If it's that easy start releasing your own mods and build up your own client base offering a flat $4 fee.

^^ thank you.. thats all i wanted to hear... that means u agree with me..

And im not a server.. Im a slot technician.. and yes that does take skills to do.. its not somthing everyone and there dads can do right off the bat.. YOu have to learn it and we take tests every week..

Just like coding u.. gotta learn it..

But i for one am not getting paid 50$ an hour.. or even close to that.. which I doubt Sombody installing mods getting paid $50 an hour is rediculous.. I hope some people can agree with me on that..


BTW ignoring people show ur weak and plus its easy to gang up on sombody in a thread. Funny i bet non of you people in here can argue with me one on one. Only reason you even spoke ur mind to me is because u read this thread and u had back up of sombody already attacking me. You aint no mature person your all (for those who attacked me) are as immature as me.. but with no comback..

I mean you got to admit.. some of those lines i spoke off where pretty funny...

I know this because i used to freestyle battle people at lunch back in highschool.. I got some pretty good punchlines.. I know this because people.. repeated my line and said that was dope after the battles
