Rentacoder

August 18th, 2004   39 Comments

Met an interesting guy called Scott who told me about various outsourcing sites I didn’t know about, like Rentacoder, where, like eBay, people post coding requests and coders (maybe in India) offer their services as bids.

    Don’t miss http://opensourcexperts.com/ as well. I think it’s the same thing. They’re using my IssueTrackerProduct (http://www.zope.org/Members/peterbe/IssueTrackerProduct) a lot.

    http://www.guru.com and http://www.elance.com are the others.

    Rentacoder is the place to go for cheap coding, elance is more expensive but probably( cant say for sure though ) better quality.

    I took the plunge about 2 months ago with a project that I had which had written VERY clear specifications. In the bid request I made it clear I was after a long term relationship with a high quality developer not the cheapest cowboy. I was very lucky I had a brilliant developer from India apply. The original specification was for $US100 for what I would estimate to be about 2-3 weeks of full time work. The level of quality was far higher than I expected.

    I do know about people who have been burnt though so beware.

    Over about 60 projects and two years I’ve found rentacoder far superior to Elance in terms of quality, ease of use and professionalism.

    Is that really fair? To pay someone so cheaply JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN? Did you only make $100 yourself on the project? Just because he is in India his time is not worth 1/30th of an American/European ?

    I think you can run into cowboys. I currently have a canadian coder, and he is fast, rather intelligent, and cares about the quality. I have also been burned. choose well, and don’t be afraid to inteview. My bad experience relate to rusian coders. But lately rentacoder is up and down like a yoyo.

    I find it both amusing and a little bizarre when people complain about the availability of low prices.

    When did you last go out of your way to pay more for anything?

    You’re only upset because they are offering the same thing you offer but for a lower price.

    Many people work long and hard at something that requires skill and experience, but without earning good money. The IT profession charges high prices, on the basis that people cannot do the work themselves, thus you can make them pay and pay for it.

    Now they can get the work cheaper. “Wah! Not fair!” you cry.

    Well right back at you - do you think it’s fair to charge more “just because you can?”

    A lot of people did, but now you can’t, because customers now have a choice. And yes, that IS fair.

    You see, you invested a lot of time and maybe money learning IT. Computer stuff, digital stuff, the kind of stuff that can be done at home or from a distance.

    Yet you live in a country with a high cost of living, where you cannot afford to compete on the world market with a product that can be produced anywhere.

    Not such a smart career move was it?

    Here’s a tip: The real value of something is how much someone is willing to pay. If the something is available on the market for $50, $100 or $1000, I’m not willing to pay more than $50.

    So the price is $50.

    Convince me you’ll do a really great, above average job, offer superb support and go out of your way to make me happy, I might go to $100.

    Don’t try and convince me the work is worth $1000 “just because you can” charge me that - because I can go elsewhere.

    If there is a moral element then I’d say it’s immoral to try and discourage people from offering their work to people who need it more than you do, just so you can charge more.

    If I can pay the rent and feed a family of 4 with my work for a month, why is it more moral to give you more money instead, so you can afford this month’s cable subscription?

    If I can spread that wealth and pay less as well, that’s great.

    You want a higher standard of living? Move to India, the scenery is nice, the people are lovely, plenty of sunshine, the women are beautiful and you can charge 1/10th your current rates and live in relative luxury.

    So why don’t you? You want to live in America, charge American prices and offer an Indian product.

    THAT’s not fair.

    September 9th, 2004 at 8:22 am (#)

    do you think it’s fair to charge more “just because you can?”

    The fact is that I could not charge less. The point is that the world be a better place if the Indian programmer were paid closer to what he was worth, not the other way around. Why should I make less because his countries economics put him at a different scale then my own economy? Why should you exploit that fact and keep his economy down just so you can get your email harvester for $9.99 ( =~7.50 after the RAC fee) instead of paying the $100 it is worth?

    “When did you last go out of your way to pay more for anything?”

    Every time I go to the small local market where I get fresh vegetables as well as support local farmers, instead of shufflinh off to the Wal Mart with their cheap, pesticide coated bgetable like substances.

    I could go on with this for a while, but I am not going to. The point is this:

    America/Canada/Europe will never see our true potential until we have brought the other nations economies closer to the economic scale that we enjoy. When that happens they will have the ability to become buys in the worlds narketplace. Henry Ford knew it was important that workers were paid enough to actually purchase what they manufactured. Exploiting ‘low’ wages in foreign countries is not a part of that plan.

    You do not want to see the third/fourth world stay that way do you?

    This is symbolic of our problem in America. The idea that we can do it just be cause we can. To answer your question:

    I’ve recently dealt with a C++ coder from RentACoder. We were impressed by the end product but wished for slightly better communication during the project, a moot point I suppose given the great end product.

    In any event, I can’t really contribue to the wage debate on this blog, but I can say that we did not choose the cheapest bid for our project, but the most qualified. While he wasn’t the most expensive, we did send him a bonus at the end of the project which did bring the project total cost to that of the highest bid. Fair is fair, we were very pleased with the end product, and while we didn’t immediately turn around and sell the software, we do see it as an investment both in term of the software and our relationship with the RAC programmer.

    Hi !

    I have done 379 projects through RentACoder by now. Link here:
    http://www.takereal.com/freelance/rating.asp
    Most of my buyers come from USA. They are very happy to work with me and I have many regular customers.
    There is only one reason for coders from expensive areas to ask about big price: they spend too much money (for nothing? to support other expensive guys around them?).
    Passage about pesticide, quotation from Henry Ford, everything else – just for hiding this clear reason.

    I think that much of the wage discrepancy is due to minimum wage and labor unions. In the past several months that I’ve spent living in an outsourcing country, I’ve discovered that the engineers here, who cost about 1/10th what the same engineers in the US cost, have a standard of living that is better than your typical US college student (nice multi-room apartment, nice clothes, crappy car, able to put some money away for savings), because most locally manufactured goods and services cost about 1/8th of what they cost in the US.
    And I believe that there is substantially less government interference in the economy here than in the US.

    I believe that the much of the reason for this is the freer market, which allows people who are willing to work for less to do so instead of creating artificial unemployment. Specifically, I would like to see the minimum wage replaced with transfer payments, and labor relations laws changed to stop discrimination against a minority of workers who are willing to work without going through a union.

    Remember: it is mathematically provable that in an economy where every employer is willing to pay less and every employee is willing to be paid more that eliminating the minimum wage will cause productivity to decrease or remain the same. The additional productivity is things like people delivering food for you, or cleaning your house instead of their being unemployed. (You can visualize this with the intersection of a supply curve and a demand curve that you learned in economics 101).

    Remember also that if the Indians are 10 times as efficient as Americans at programming, twice as efficient as Americans at lawyering, and more efficient than Americans at everything, the Americans will still be at least as well of trading than not trading (because, by David Ricardo’s theory of competitive advantage, Indians will gradually find it more profitable to spend all of their time programming even if that means they have to pay expensive American lawyers to the lawyering that they don’t have time to do themselves). Of course, I do not believe that Indians are inherently better than Americans; I’m just using a worst case set of assumptions.

    Sorry for the typo. I wrote: “t is mathematically provable that in an economy where every employer is willing to pay less and every employee is willing to be paid more that eliminating the minimum wage will cause productivity to DECREASE or remain the same.” Sorry, I meant INCREASE.

    Take a look at the new website: http://www.codecogs.com It is a database of C/C++ where the majority of the code is free to use under the GNU general public licence. Contributors can also choose to allow the commercial licensing of their code, at a cost of their choice, for which they will receive the royalties.

    The site also enables users to post requests for code, and enables coders to bid to develop these requests.

    Hi,

    My name is Amir Ali Tayyab and I was operating as “aatayyab” on http://www.rentacoder.com as a member only for two months with top10 ratings there by my 5 projects within that short span. And then I was struck with a bad surprise by a non-professional buyer, unfair arbitration by a rentacoder.com arbitrator and owner of http://www.rentacoder.com in my last project where I suffered these losses;

    1. they confiscated my rightful money to be paid by the buyer and returned it back to him. The buyer name is Mr.Terence Brown (tbrown223@comcast.net) and he was operating as “safrica2″ buyer on http://www.rentacoder.com . This buyer had 10 arbitrations out of his total 40 which he always won with 10 different coders. Hence a sense of favorism towards buyers is clearly visible and this buyer always used such an unfair favorism to deceive and rip off many coders of their rightful money like myself and run away with completed projects under the protection of “deceptive” existence of fraudulent internet websites like http://www.rentacoder.com

    2. they appointed an arbitrator Mr.Ajay Bathija (AjayBathija@exhedra.com) to resolve my issue with the buyer, but he took sides of the buyer and turned down all of my requests for professional testing/arbitration.

    3. they rated me as MINUS THREE on their website in that specific project and;

    4. they deducted money from my own account as a penalty

    5. they issued me warnings to withhold my own money left in my account if i did not stop pursuing it legally.

    I protested all this to owner of http://www.rentacoder.com, Mr.Ian Ippolito (IanIppolito@exhedra.com), but he too took unfair side of his arbitrator and the buyer. Before signing up with rentacoder.com, I was deceived into believing them due to their display of memberships by http://www.BBB.org and http://www.SquareTrade.com . Now, I have started the complaint process not only at these websites but with all legal authorities of their territories and warning general public against using such a deceptive website like http://www.rentacoder.com or working in any way with Mr.Ian Ippolito, Mr.Ajay Bathija and Mr.Terence Brown.

    I am based in Pakistan and I was ripped off my rightful money by these persons and website via internet who are located in USA.

    I will keep you all posted about the developments taking place to prosecute such internet fraud. I have met a few of the coders who feel the same way and I plan to gather all such evidence and legally fighting such fraudulent websites or persons. I have all the emails and project data online at http://rentacoderfraud.bravehost.com and attached herewith for your detailed review.

    LAME EXCUSES BY RENTACODER.COM TO COMMIT FRAUD ONLINE
    TAKEN FROM “THEIR” OWN WEBSITE ONLINE AT
    https://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/AmirAliTayyab/RentACoder/AmirAliTayyab_RentACoder.htm

    Subject: Re: rentacoder
    From: ianipp-ga on 07 Mar 2005 22:31 PST
    ======================
    Public Record
    Arbitration Summary for project Marketing Research on website http://www.RentACoder.com
    Buyer: safrica2
    Seller: Amir Ali Tayaab of Zen Marketing ( http://www.softwarepk.com )
    Issue: Alleged fraud by Amir Ali Tayaab (seller) by safrica2 (buyer)
    ======================

    1) Amir Ali Tayyab entered into arbitration because the project he did for safrica2 (the buyer) was a marketing project. He was to determine the top 5 companies by market share in several markets and do reports. While safrica2 received reports, he suspected Amir had not done proper research because the top companies he expected were not his list. So he asked RAC to investigate.

    2) In arbitration Amir Ali Tayyab admitted that he had not done any research but “relied on his 15 years of knowledge” as well as allegedly calling some companies…at expense to him from Pakistan. He was informed that while calling companies from Pakistan was admirable, it was a strategy doomed to failure because unless he could call every company in the market and get them to provide an accurate statement of their market share (which none will do), he would not get the information he needed to start. He was also informed that relying on his 15 years of knowledge for something that changes from month to month and quarter to quarter was also an inappropriate way to do research.

    3) When told his top 5 companies by market share were not acceptable, Amir then threatened to take this to the BBB (Better Business Bureau), Square trade and publish false statements on every internet newsgroup if his poor rating were not removed. He was warned that giving into these kinds of threats would introduce severe bias into the arbitration system. So we could not falsify the account. So he did…as you can see from Google.

    =====================
    RentACoder.com

    Hi,

    I found lame excuses posted by the fraudulent website rentacoder.com at their own site’s link https://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/AmirAliTayyab/RentACoder/AmirAliTayyab_RentACoder.htm

    1. The fraudulent buyer on rentacoder.com did not “suspect” anything, rather, he “invented” new companies for me to do additional research which of course meant more time of mine to be spent and when I asked for additional cost of services, this buyer ran away with my own money under the cover of unfair arbitrator on rentacoder.com

    2. It is a white lie by Rentacoder.com that I “admitted” any fault in my project. My marketing research strategy which comes from my 18 years of global marketing experience, is being challenged by an unfair and non-expert (DBA) arbitrator on rentacoder.com which is a laughing stock in itself.

    3. I did not just “threaten”, I executed all of my threats successfully and I reported it not only to BBB or SquareTrade.com, but to all law authorities and internet forums worldwide to ENSURE that nobody else becomes victim as myself of such fraudulent buyers, decieving arbitrators and white-collar criminal websites like rentacoder.com

    Finally, I learned a lesson that it is “fruitless” sometimes to talk or conversate with people like rentacoder.com as they are bent on making money from the poverty-stricken people from South Asia and Eastern Europe. As we are not US citizens, hence we are unfairly dealt with by these “American” criminal websites and people there. In my 18 years of working experience with Americans, this is my first time that I saw such fraudulent people from the land of free. Be informed and be carefu!!!

    truly yours

    I dealt with the problems of poor coders on elance and found some better ones on guru. Because we have on going projects we also have a couple fairly inexpensive ($1300/mo) dedicated outsourced employees from Labor Assistance laborassistance.com. Having full control over your projects is important and so is your bottom line. For small projects it is all about guru and elance, but for anything else you’ve got to get a real team.

    Back to the subject of wages, which are ridiculous. RAC buyers offer under $1000 to have programs written that they will turn around and sell for $100 per copy. This means the software pays for itself in less than 10 copies, and the rest is pure profit. Profit margins for buyers having end-user software written should be 90% and up!

    So… what is currently stopping Russian, Pakistani, and Indian programmers like Sergey from putting up their own websites and selling the software direct? Why do all that work only to keep 10% or less of what it’s actually worth?

If anyone of you wishes to read his crime, please read http://rentacoderfraud.bravehost.com

Please use your own head and consult with your elders before uttering or trying to doing anything about me. This is a brotherly request which you are free to turn down, of course.

I am receiving life threats and nude abuses on SMS and E-mails in Urdu and of course some of you have bought in the idea of this criminal from USA. Please remember that as a Muslim I am not supposed to answer back with the same kind of nude abuses and I am only supposed to get justice in an equal court of law which I am sad I can’t as I am in Pakistan, not in USA.

    Thanks for reading my point of view. Please take action about this non-sense initiated by the owner of http://www.rentacoder.com Mr.Ian Ippolitto and help me in teaching him a lesson about “fair arbitrations”.

    STOP PROMOTING SLAVE LABOR!
    —————————

    Every time I came accross RAC and their site, I became sad … very sad. I hope Ian Ippolito site will be closed. There is a minimum pay requiment by Department of Labor. It should not be difficult to prove that Ian Ippolito is breaking the law, promotes slavery labor, and therefore must pay millions of dollars in compensations. Effectively, Ian Ippolito tells all of you - IT professionals - that you are not professionals since his scum buyer guys can rent a guy for 100, 1000 times cheaper then you. Can you imagine RentALawyer site where you can rent a divorce lawyer for $20, or $2 per case? RentADentist site? RentAJudge site? What IT professional associations are doing? I think if nothing happens with scum guys from RAC Ian Ippolito will prove to me, at least, that the word combination “IT professional” is just a hoax …

    Ian Ippolitto,

    I just had phone conversations and a few personal meetings with some of the Pakistani coders who are members of RAC (rentacoder.com) and on their insistence, I am dropping my case against you and your website unconditionally.

    I am sorry and I apologize for anything said so far from my side. I don’t want to portray myself as a weak person, but since you involved my own brothers/sisters and countrymen into this dispute, I want to quit this non-sense campaign against you, your arbitrator and the buyer on your website.

    Kindly consider these words LAST and FINAL from my side about the whole fiasco. I don’t have the control of website http://rentacoderfraud.bravehost.com anymore as someone has stolen all of the login information passwords. So, anybody trying to represent me is doing on his/her own risk and I am no more interested in this stupidity to continue. You are free to post this e-mail message on all forums and every place you wish on your own and I give you permission for doing that as I dont’ have much time to do it myself.

    Please take care of your coders and buyers so as to avoid such incidents in future.

    within 5 years, all IT jobs will be for pakistanis and indians, and not US citizens.
    when you pay someone at one of these sites, think twice: the money you pay will go outside the country, while hiring someone in the US will keep the money circulating and will get back to you somehow later.

    Ian Ippolito cheats the underdogs and screws everyone else. He cheated us too, twice, once because our hosting service went belly up and we didn’t get our emails. But he’s not the only service on the net with people looking for work. The solution is to take your business elsewhere. No point in wasting time with him.

    > once because our hosting service went belly up and we didn’t get our emails.

    Send complain to your hosting, OK? Quotation from RentACoder’s message: “You have a maximum of 3 business days to respond (or 5 business days if you are a buyer being asked to either accept a work 100% or produce a flaw list).”

    You can’t recognize hosting’s “belly up” 3 days long? You don’t know how to use another e-mail address ?

    Btw, you write “twice”, but you forgot to describe your second claim to RentACoder.

    > Ian Ippolito cheats the underdogs and screws everyone else

    Ian and RentACoder’s staff clean out RentAcoder from cheaters. This is not a game, this is business.

    > No point in wasting time with him.

    Hi, you can try http://www.rent-acoder.com as an outsourcing website. THe buyers, neither the coders are/wount be sided there. I speak from experience, and favorising the buyers is the worst thing(even if it could harm the business).

    You may check it out, fees as 5% for freelancers
