Have you used rentacoder? Any advice on pitfalls to avoid, etc. when putting work up for bid?
I’ve been spending more time with a hammer and nails working on my own house lately but as soon as I’m done (will I ever really be done?), I’m going to offer up my part time coding services, which are better than my carpentry, on rentacoder.
The escrow process seems to ensure everyone plays by the rules. I don’t know anyone personally who has used it but the tech mag reviews I’ve read seem approving.
I’ve been a full time computer consultant contractor in the past and did my own billing. I don’t have time for the admin stuff now so this type of thing is interesting to me. Plus, you might get some fellow Americans (who work from home) to work on your project!
