I found an incredible programmer there for $11 an hour to complete and maintain the Windows MMS Snapin, and it’s been my little secret ever since.

Yeah - don't mess with those $12, $14 an hour shysters. That's the ticket!

Well, this was in 2005 to be fair.. and that was the rate for VB6 on Windows. In Moldova, a place I've never heard of. I didn't pick the price, just paid it. Not the going price anymore I'm sure.
