I Hired an Entire Software Development Team on Fiverr 

I didn't think about that

Honestly that text looks too "lean" to be written by an ai.

Definitely doesn't read like AI, if they used it then definitely turned it into a non-AI style.

honestly u can put in your own key words and priniciple on writting to make the results more realistic @@qwertykeyboard5901

yaa 😅 I'm indian too...they charges very low....

Trust me I rather hire European than any Indian developer, many tells you a thing and end up they can’t do it anyway, it’s too complicated. I’ve moved to upwork cuz fiver suck

What did he claim to be able to do lol

@@westbrook0853 i gave him an example of a website that has similar features and lay out to what i needed built and he said he could do it. To be fair though, he has done a decent job now, it just took him 2 months longer then expected and a whole lot of trial and error.

Nah, it’s kind of expensive to run and was meant to just be an experiment 🤷‍♂️

Interns do basically the same work as full time developers, just with less scope and the work is a bit more pre-defined for them. In one internship, I added a feature to marketplace for researching cars. In the other, I worked on an internal tool related to source control. Facebook doesn't reinterview you after the internship. The internship is essentially a long full-time interview. Some companies do though. For example, I actually turned down a Google internship partially because I didn't want to have to interview for a full-time job after (although I have heard some people say these "conversion" interviews are a bit of a formality, not sure if that's true though).

@@ConnerArdman How that feature works? For researching cars

@@xtu373 It's long gone now. But at the time if you went to a car listing on marketplace, there would be a learn more button. That would bring you to a page with a bunch of information about that car (mpg, msrp, drivetrain, etc.), reviews, Q&A, photos, etc.

Thank you!

Love that idea, good luck!

Yeah I'd be interested to know too. But to your point, it is not exploitative. The sellers set their own prices and can decline work. Most of them just tend to live in countries where the cost of living is much lower than the US. I also don't think any of them ended up with wages that low. For example, the frontend was likely the most amount of work by a good margin. If I had to implement that frontend, given that the design is already done, it would probably take me ~5 hours if I had to guess. Even if it took him 3 times that long, it would still be $300 for 15 hours, which is $20 per hour. After Fiverr's fees, that comes out to $16 per hour. Another way to look at it is that the seller earned $240 after Fiverr's fees. At absolute max he worked on it for an entire week, but I am 99% sure that's not the case given how many reviews he has for how long he has been on the site (he clearly is averaging at least a few per week, maybe way more depending on the review rate). Glassdoor says the average monthly salary for software engineers in Pakistan, where he is from, is PKR 240,000. That's roughly $800 USD per month. So even just doing 4 of these gigs per month at one per week would result in making an above average income for software engineers in the country.

@@ConnerArdmanThat's interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about that either. The idea of paying someone significantly less than what the work is worth simply because of the country they reside in just seems icky. I know that's "how it works" but still just feels unfair to the folks doing the work. But totally agree that they set their prices and aren't required to do any of the work. To the point of your video... the work you got for

I'm remote dev from East Africa so I know about this all too well... It is not exploitative because western currencies have unbelievable value here, so we are extremely glad to get opportunities that could possibly make you a millionaire (in our currency). Given that we can be very satisfied with the kind of payment you can't find here typically, well gladly accept such opportunities. And the of course, they know this and they will seize on their opportunity to acquire higher profit margins without sacrificing product/service quality. It's a consensual, win-win relationship.

Broke people work for cheap. It's a thing.

@@inDefEE Salaries are averaging very fast until it is no longer competitive in most parts of the world, even the ones that used to be competitive. It happened in all industries. Eventually India or Pakistan will be too expensive and those countries themselves will outsource to African countries. Look at manufacturing in China, it's been decades the salaries are too high and most of manufacture has moved onto other South East Asian countries. Only a rapid deglobalization would make the phenomenon stop (this could be happening right now).

They’re all linked in the description 👍

@@ConnerArdman thanks

Hey, sorry you're having trouble with that! I checked with Fiverr and it should be active. Make sure it's all caps and spelled "ER" not "OR". Also, it only works for first time purchases, I'll update the description to make that more clear. Let me know if it still doesn't work for you though and I'll follow up with the team at Fiverr again 👍

It's been a lot longer than that lol, probably a few months if you go back through my old videos. I literally never sit on that couch.

@@ConnerArdman damn, btw i enjoyed the video :) You have to sit there today!

Thanks! And maybe... but it is _really_ uncomfortable 😂

W name spelling 🤝

It makes sense to raise your prices once you get your ratings up and more people start sending you commissions

@@maevwat the project was not much worthly it just took only 1-2 days for me to complete it (front + back )

Nah I tested it against a bunch of AI checkers, they all said 100% human written 👌

🤣🤣 lol
