Notable quotes
“When you’re browsing Odesk, I always filter by 4 stars or better.”
“In the early days, I spent from $6-$10 an hour on programmers from Odesk. Nowadays, when I hire developers I pay in the $20’s. It’s ways easier to find someone of better quality, when you pay them in the $20-$30 range. Now both of the developers I have are in Argentina.”
“The developers I’m hiring now, from Odesk, are better than the developers I worked with the USA that were making 6 figures.”
