yeah its sad. I make about half what I made 10 years ago. I'm barely scraping by now, while noticing less and less names posting on boards. Sex always sells but when people are more conditioned to getting it for free then what can you do? Hell look at the graveyard of big companies and players around 10 years ago that are gone now.

Do you have any code for eCommerce? I'm putting together my first mainstream store for WordPress and Woo commerce. Just thought I'd ask in case you have anything for that.
thanks!

Lets all leave this business.

My brother is one. Us siblings started calling him out on his shit once we got tired of it. His response was to cut the entire family out of his life. It's been close to a decade since he's responded to anyones attempt to contact him.

I remember his last lie being that he said he won his new car at the mall (those cars sitting in the courtyards that you can enter to win), when in reality he bought it. He had also bought a new guitar that he said was part of the prize. Not a big deal in and of itself, but it becomes burdensome when everything is a grand story and you are no longer able to separate fact from fiction.

He was also involved in all of these big businesses and deals despite no actual evidence of such. Coincidence? Who knows.

Good luck! Reading this thread seems like a lot of people are heading for the exit.

I love depressed markets for adult but entrances are cheap and it's what you do beyond the door that counts anyway

Small peanuts. This guy served in special forces for 3 years, played ball for USC, worked for German bank. Turned out he has GED. Once he was confronted by his wife he came up with more batshit crazy stuff. Its better not to bother and ignore it.

AdultKing 02-05-2015 04:03 PM

Hey, if you have any code that you think would be worth sharing let me know.

I am in the process of building a collection of useful repos on git, the first of which is an update to TGPX from JMBSoft.

Being in this business and not have a good humour, you may as well hang yourself. Being in two businesses ( albeit related )makes that a double challenge.

In case you have missed it, i had a bit of a war with him before in another thread, then we made up and I have said something he wanted to quote. I have said OK and gave him couple more..... Then the next day he made this announcement. Hence the Hollywood reference. :2 cents:

It must. Even in Silicon Valley the average hourly wage for php developer is $60/hr.

As a freelancer figure 50% utilization rate, tack on 40% for taxes, insurance, etc. and at most you should be charging $160. Very few actually get that.

Nobody is so magical with code to be worth almost twice the next guy. It's php for christ's sake. No shortage of programmers knowing that language.

Phoenix 02-07-2015 06:28 PM

Aaarggh Maties...100 people leaving the industry

Diomed 02-07-2015 08:06 PM

Honest question,

Do you ever read what you write and realize you sound like a complete douche sometimes? Serious tiny penis business :2 cents:

Congrats on the new venture.. You sound like a clever chap.. But humility is the new ego :thumbsup

Mainstream is definitely more relaxing. Adult is crazy tight these days.

How long does it take to log in and address some serious allegations like this?

OneHungLo 02-08-2015 09:41 AM

Did he say he had a degree from Yale or just took classes through the Eli Whitney Students Program?

Well, in Italy they are judging a captain exactly for doing that, leaving the Costa Concordia ship before assuring the safe rescue of all the passengers and tripulation.
