Agreed.
I do it now with RENTACODER. But it's held in escrow. If the programmer misses their deadline, or doesn't do their status reports, flakes, doesn't complete the work, pulls a whodini, disappears and returns with the designer classics.. death in family, blown up computer, internet, etc....
You can take them to arbitration and get your money back. They do nto get paid until they complete your work. So if they flake, you just pick one of the others who bid on your project, and your escrow now will apply to them.
It's better than designers, or companys, (like Rhino the designer in my example) disappearing wth $500 down payment, and then not finishing their work. Even when you did them a fucking favor in the first place.
I've found even some of the highly recommended does not always apply. That is unless it's someplace like RENTACODER (there are a few others) where all get rated on their work, paid WHEN COMPLETED, and must do weekly status reports.
