$10 p/h ?

are you joking? if you can find good (I don't want really great) Spring devs for under $80.00 p/h let me know.

You can hire at that rate and everyone I hired had faked their experience and could get through the interview but did a terrible job.

So we ended up firing everyone and had 3 devs for above $110 p/h that were truly awesome who got the job done.

Yeah I'll see how it goes. Tbh at the moment I expect those bottom end devs are worse than just using chatgpt directly. I'll probably have to spend more time explaining to them what I want.

Once IDE plugins can scan the majority of a codebase it'll be easier to just write a bulleted set of requirements and let it get on with it.

But anyway I was talking to a friend who's hired some great Ukrainians quite cheaply and I hear there are some good devs in the Philippines.
