Oh, woe is me! The one who has contributed over 17,000 posts to Code Project and a number of articles and as a result of which has earned the Code Project MVP award 4 times is being threatened by a jumped up numpty who wants to exploit naive developers in to believing that credits on an application will be enough to pay the bills.

You amateur.  You must kneel before Zod. Oh sorry, I was getting my megalomaniacs mixed up there.

You must like a challenge because with your attitude help will not be easily forthcoming.

Rent-a-coder is not expensive. It is dirt cheap. The only thing cheaper is free. And if I give my work away for free I'd like to know how do I get to put food on my table and pay for the roof over my head? Answer me that Mr Entrepreneur!
Meer Osman Ali wrote: talented guys like you can make a lot of difference to the world
Yes, I do. And I get paid well for it, too. And I expect anyone that wants to utilise my talents to pay for that too.
Meer Osman Ali wrote: An entrepreneur is ur key
Maybe, but it won't be with you because you have an unrealistic expectation of the balance of the relationship. In other words, the developer is does all the giving and you do all the taking. You take the code and then you take the money.
What is the developer left with? Nothing.
So where is the insentive? There isn't one.

What about application credits? What about the good words (or bad words) the users thrown on u?

Nice and all, but it doesn't pay the bills.

So what is the currency conversion on that so I can pay my mortgage?

Meh! That trick was tried on my 12 years ago. In my youth it may have worked as I was naive and lacked self confidence. These days I'm more aware of my worth.

I'm in. We'll do this as a share scheme - you get 100% of the special credit stocks, and I'll take 100% of the ordinary shares. Obviously, I'll let you have all the good words from the users.

I was thinking of giving him some code for free. It would be delivered as highly obfuscated code (using Skater since it can crash Reflector), zero documentation, and zero liability on my part of any hair pulling frustration he would encounter.

Thank you very much for the time to code. This is urgent please. Documentation is not needed

You missed the joke icon. I wouldn't give you any of my code without having some kind of financial reward attached to it. I am pretty sure you couldn't afford it anyways

Sorry i cant give monetary support to resources now. I just need an optimal code so that it reaches a greater mass of people who use the application. Your name will come in Application Credits as a support engineer

Sorry, can't give you code then. If you were really an entrepreneur, you would have monetary resources.

Well, go for it! Don't expect much different of a reception from them.

Yup - I'm an MVP. I can calculate PI to 1 billion decimal places just by gazing at my navel. I invented a time machine last week.

Great - let's change the world. I assume we're tackling world poverty or hunger here - after all, anything else wouldn't be worth the time of a great entrepeneur like yourself would it.
