I haven’t had much luck with programmers. I have been looking for a Javascript programmer for a few months now. I know I could go the scriptlance route but I need to find someone who I can work with on a consistent basis and I am not sure that scriptlance is the right place for that.
Right now our focus is on developing Browser Addons for Firefox. I understand Javascript a little and can usually modify it to fit my needs but starting something from scratch is daunting.
I thought I had hired a programmer a week or so ago only to check in with him and find that he had refunded my money due to personal reasons. While I appreciate the refund there was no email or anything. Just a note he sent with his refund via paypal.
I had a previous experience where the programmer just took the money and never delivered one line of code. That was a few years ago, and after this recent experience I am a little put off. I have tried to find a local programmer but with no luck.
Any advice?
