This is very cool. If you need someone to write some software, update or add some code, you can accomplish it without hiring a full time programmer by renting one at RentACoder.

Someone was just telling me that he'd used this service and utilized 3 specific programmers which he got to know and re-used frequently. To deal with the different time zones, he found one in India, one in Europe and one in Florida.

Something that might have taken him an hour to program might cost only $5. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that $5 to the guy in India is very different than to $5 in the U.S. The second is that in some cases, the programmer may have already written the code and simply needs to cut and paste it.
