Maybe this whole "overpaying developers" mentality wasn't around when I was freelancing because if I actually had $100 for every time someone wanted me to make them a website for $100 I'd be rich by now.

The correct response to the "bad" cover letter in the first place was "ignore it." That would have saved everybody a lot of time.

Guess you should have taken them up on the offer then? Sounds like you'd be rich.


You somehow managed to miss the entire point. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or horribly depressed.


It was merely a joke, I completely got your point. You on the other-hand did manage to miss my entire point.


This is the Internet! Everything is serious, dammit!

P.S. I didn't down-vote you so I've got that going for me, right :P


Heh, no harm no foul. I don't understand the whole down-vote thing, but at least it's not as bad here as it is at reddit.


He'd only be rich if he had unlimited hours to work.


Or rather, if he got the $100 for being asked to do something; not delivering the product.
