just click the column at the top to sort it. This is how everybody does it.
minimum bid for this 30 dollar on freelancer.com thats like 5 hours wage for an average programmer, but i estimate this will take 1 hour to build. no?
$30 is 5 hours of pay? Wow. $30 is more like one hour for a new grad first beginning a job.
30 dollars per hour for very experienced programmer, yeah possible but for a new grad with beginning project is too much. 30x8 (hours per day)x20(workdays per month)=4800USD per month salary? well I dont think this is the situation in the world.
