If $20 sounds too low, feel free to pitch in more. I'm a physics postdoc, not a software dev.
If you're doing a contract not for profits pay the same as everyone else.
I'm not going to link to anything here because that implies vetting and I'm not going to vet anything. This isn't at all hard to find.
(I don't necessarily object to snarkiness. And obviously, tone can be hard to judge in plain text.)
I did the search, found lots of stuff readily available, shared my exact search phrase so it could be replicated and explained my reasoning for sharing the search phrase instead of a link. And now two people are busting my chops for actually being helpful.
I bet no one would have said a damn thing had I simply not bothered to reply and, in this case, not bothering to reply would have been the jerk thing to do because it would have been unhelpful to someone actually sincerely needing help and it would have been done on a bad faith assumption.
Geez.
To you which may mean that it is merely possible to infer snarkiness.
> If you don't care, that's fine.
Haha that doesn't help.
In my reality no developer (even a sh*y one) makes $20k.
Granted, it's not my only source of income, but what is the average pay/hour for most devs?
If you live in SV it might be like $210k or something absurd.
If you ask people to give $50, fewer people will than if you ask them $20 so overall they will get more money.
