If I found someone who paid me my hourly rate 40 hours a week 52 weeks a year, I'd be making $312,000/yr.
See the problem there? Most people in adult are cheap as fuck, they don't pay for what their work is worth, so most of us competent programmers just stick to ourselves and do some freelance here and there, all while building our own stuff.
So you know what happens there? You see constant "programmer fucked me over" threads on GFY and the rare ones regarding borked or k0nr4d who do some freelance here and there being praised.

Yea, I was aiming that more toward the typical fly by night GFY programmers. Of course guys that are dependable and do good work, they will have a rep that speaks for themselves and they will probably make decent money.
However those guys seem very few and far between, when it comes to guys that try to solicit work on forums.
