That's the thing - you are a business man that is also a programmer. Your "job" and mine at that, is to innovate, be different or unique - to be a resource of knowledge based on a range of skills. Not to sit and code, in php all day... |
Indeed but I would still hire a strict PHP dev at $100k a year if he was top notch. I've hired over 30 PHP developers in the past 11 years and most recently I've hired on four guys that all break the $100k mark. I know how tough it is to find solid PHP devs and by solid I mean, their shit is wire tight and by wire tight I mean they have experience across the board, specifically in scalability (50k concurrent users +)... I sifted through over 500 applicants to find those 4... thankfully, we hire remote so the job market is global. If you go looking locally, no matter where you (few exceptions), you'd be
very hard pressed to find someone that fits the bill (no pun intended).

Not saying my stuff is perfect, no code is.. But by comparison.. sheesh.. it just shocks me.

Sadly, I concur... the state of the adult industry's web development is pretty sad and it's apparent from nearly every level... Just by taking into account data integrity would drop 95% of sponsors from the acceptable list; bad or wrong metadata injected into videos, bad or no model names associated to content (first names only make me want to punch someone in the face), incorrect labels, invalid landing pages and fhgs, conflicting content stats... I could go on especially if I extended the poor data management to things like; no easy way to determine what sites belong to what passes and many program's inability to something dead fucking simple like pull FHGs / Videos by a god damned DATE RANGE. Seriously... it's bad, really bad.
