- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+49I enjoy C# and long walks on the beach...
- UncommonSense, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44Based on the title, I thought this was a nerd dating site. I'm disappointed.
- JonisJon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Fantastic idea outright, I have seen ideas fail so oftern because these type of people were NOT able to meet.
- ShrimpCrackers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I like this site, its a great idea. I'm a designer+programmer who needs help in both ends actually.
Nerd Dating site? Thats a bad idea, you'd get like 100 nerd guys to 1 nerd girl. Its going to feel like an MMORPG all over again. - dfego, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20Absolutely brilliant idea. Dugg.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Like rentacoder.com. I found it nearly impossible to actually make good money on that site. I was always underbid by some team of Indians who could do the project in 30 minutes, and would only require five dollars for it. ...
...
Damn Indians.. - phogasmic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I think it is different because it has a friendly, less business like appeal. The freelanc sites can be kind of intimidating, plus you have to give them a cut. This seems like a place where you can meet your business "soulmate", A place where people with great ideas and little money can meet. I just hope it doesn't get spammed to death.
JOey - heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Wow, the kid who created this was born in 1993.

I think I was watching TMNT II in the theatres.
Good job kid!
I wish I was programming websites like that at 13, then again prodigy was 2 years away and high spread wi-fi wasn't readily available. - Matic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I have been looking for life-long business partner for a while now. Hopefully this site can find him/her :-D
- CaseyUCF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Hopefully it doesn't turn into a site where people bid outrageously low prices for the hours/type of work to be done.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8good idea, missing some stuff...like location based search.
Im in desperate need of a developer RIGHT NOW, but prefer local talents.
Dugg for a good start, thought. - verifex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Hey, I know some programmers, and some designers. I should be my own website.
- KingAdrock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Great logo, got a good smile out of that
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I fear that this will just turn to spam, with everyone being a job advertiser.
- jalenack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Great idea, but could use a lot of improvement. The header is fun, but everything below that seems like an after-thought...design-wise at least. Definitely needs location-based options as well.
- rlarkin0220, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6*In a Sexy Voice*
Dail, I-800-XML-JAVA , in which you'll be connected to the person of your dreams.
People like Python Steve, VB Mandy, Java Bruce, Photoshop Jennifer are all day waiting to talk to you. C+ dave is by the phone waiting for you to call now.
First three minutes are free, each additinal minute $1.99.
- Joopapa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You missed the point. As designers some of us don't like hanging out in the programming universe. Some of us enjoy daylight... :)
- miletwo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm both a developer and designer. If I join this web site can I "find myself?"
digg+ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5These sites are the death of real workers. You get people who want a website for $50, and someone will do it for them, whereas in the real world it would be 10 times that, and rightly so.
Plus, if it turns out like Rentacoder, you'll wind up never getting work because you have 5 or 6 people that are always taking the jobs. - lucask, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I've come to realize that if you comment stating how awesome the article was, you should just digg it and promote it that way. Comments which only state how cool the article is will always getting modded down so don't waste your time and mine. Unless you have some insightful comment, digg or report the story.
- logic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Not such a bad idea if you're a nerd girl ;)
- timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4And I just spent $250 on a job posting on Signal vs. Noise :(
- FusionGyro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's a great idea on paper, but if you go there, it's a dozen people needing a designer, and one designer. Like the rest of us, I work in this industry and I can tell you, designers are the ones making the serious money, and in the highest demand. It's too bad we programmers have so much enthusiasm.
- iheartbeer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4diggmeetlame.com?
/kidding... relax, just kidding - CaptShmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4lol, for web 2.0 compliance =P
- MisterKen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Agreed, but those sites (and the other ones i've tried) don't focus on designers meeting coders, its sort of a free-for-all. You get allot of people who want you to build their ecommerce app for $50 in 3 days.
We've hired programmers through rent-a-coder & getafreelancer.com and they were both unprofessional and poorly skilled.
I'll keep our programming needs posted on Craigslist. A friendly meeting for coffee with a local coder can never be web enabled. - dotdan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Sounds like you need a psychologist..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I never did like Halloween.
It's fixed now, thanks ;-)
PS. I'll work on preserving the formatting tomorrow. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Entrpeneur needs Programmer
Please Implement pagination ....like asap - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Thanks for the idea. I will definetly implement it within the next 2 days.

Sounds like a great opportunity, but only if I can wash and wax your car too. - anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3One thing that bugs me is that all of the programmers who want a designer want someone who is good with CSS/HTML. I would have thought that most definitely comes under programming and not designing?
- FunkyWitDaSysTm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2awww! that's great!
- Four20, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I gotta say, I feel so much better.
After doing php/mysql coding for the past 2-3 months. . .I've come to think, maybe this isnt my sort of thing(professionally or personally). I mean if I can't do the design, why program, when it will be demanded/expected later in life, and pursuing this professionaly as well.
Now even though it will take me 2-3 times longer to design a frontend to my backend code. I won't think as poorly of myself. lol - CaptShmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2good idea. digg.
- muskawo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Best idea for a website I've seen in a long time.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The pagination is done.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This is nothing new...
http://scriptlance.com
http://rentacoder.com
etc etc - tim507, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3see if its possible to condense the url or register a shorter verison :), sassy idea tho
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's not stored as plaintext. It's stored as a SHA1 hash (salty =)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's a thanks to digg =)
- Bradillac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You may need to invest in a "Forgot Password" function. My password was 20 something characters long and I suspect that whatever text/blob field you set up in your database isn't set long enough and probably cut it off. Always use the 'maxlength' option in your input fields people.
This site has a nice design, but programming wise, there are a lot of cut corners. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually the CSS comes under designing as it it is specific to the visual layout. With regard to HTML being "programming", I shout a big "NEWBIE" out to you sir.
- NikZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There wasn't even any internet when I was 13. C64 and sprite-based BASIC games were my past-times from about 9 thru 11. And at that age, building a business from it was the last thing on my mind... unfortunately. By 13 all I could think about was girls!
With this kind of productivity at that early age, the dude should have a bright future ahead of him/her. Kudos to you, kasra, all the best to you. - brundlefly76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is a great idea because its brilliantly targeted.
Definitely needs to be searchable by location though - a lot of us hate working remotely. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2as is always the case with these types of sites. The gigs offered place such a low value on the skills being asked. The compensation offered is usually quite horrendous and devalues the skills which programmers and designers provide.
- mdoom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2More so people relate design with CSS / (X)HTML. With programming you think of more PHP, MySQL, ASP .NET, JSP, that sort of thing.
I do agree, html and css are 'programming', but with work with web design, they are VERY important skills to have. And designing things with CSS, you don't have any need to understand how the PHP page is communication with the MySQL database. :) That is for the programmer. - dotdan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'd be more worried about them storing passwords as plaintext, than whether maxlength was set or not.
- merik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hi Kasra,
great site and good luck. One thing i found: your date list in add listing is missing october - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sorry about that, but it doesn't look like a coding error: there aren't any variables called $end in any of the files. I think DreamHost may just be having a hard time under the digg effect.
