Ive been working with a partner on a new project for the past month and he decided to hire a developer off a forum, rather than my guy that I know. I really had no say since he is the one with the money.
Anyway, I spec out the entire project from start to finish. Its actually pretty simple... two tables in a database and a search feature, then sorts by 3 values. I told my programmer buddy form LA and he said anyone should be able to get it done in about a week max... and thats if they work a 3 hour day.
We are now going into week number 6 on this, and its still not done. I just got an email from the programmer saying he doesnt know what to do and will have to wait for his supervisor on Monday to help him.
WTF?!?!?!?
Annoying part is the guy that I've been talking to this whole time, isnt even the programmer, he took the job then handed it to a "junior programmer" who can barely speak and understand english, so Ive had to spend half the time trying to translate into Indian for him to comprehend.
Im really irritated at this and cant understand how people can be so fucking stupid. its an easy fix, which if I took a bit to learn programming, I could probably figure it out myself, but now the guy who we contracted wants MORE money because the project has gone longer than he expected. No fucking way.
What Im most pissed about is I told the guy SPECIFICALLY what needs to be done and today he says "finished sir" I log into the site and see right in front of me two huge errors, then find about 3 more in 5 minutes. I ask him how he can say its done with this mess and his response is "i have no more time, sorry"
