I’m not a programmer, so I can’t really do it myself. Is it allowed for me to go to some random dude, pay him 20 bucks to write the code, then have him add it to the GitHub?

(If you’re wondering what the app/feature is, I want to be able to shuffle play on the findroid app like you would be able to on the jellyfin web interface )

    You should consider how much programmer jobs pay per hour and commission someone at a similar rate. $20 is laughable, an insult even. I went to a comedy show last night and my partner couldn’t go because she was ill. I offered her ticket to a guy who was asking at the start of the line. He offered $20. Fuck no. I paid a lot for these tickets. I’d rather it go to waste than you score some incredible deal on my back.

    Up your expectations for what a person’s time is worth.

      I’m an engineer, I volunteer my time alot, if it’s something simple I don’t take money for it. Obviously I’m not trying to compensate them like they would get from a full time job
