Thank you! But I'm not offering cheap developers. I'm one of those kids who started coding by himself at age 10 and did really good at coding contests. I have a lot of friends like me. I can hook you up with one of them :)

edit: Also my plan isn't to bring cash to my town. My plan is to give power the real hackers of my town. Companies charge about $100/h and pay about $10-$15/h back to the developer. Money is already pouring in - it just goes the wrong way...

edit2: Yes. Romaina is a broken country. Cluj is not like that. I would have moved a long time ago if that would not be the case. Cluj is actually the only city in Romania that is growing in population.

Hurts to see this, but it's the sad truth unfortunately.

I'm from Cluj-N and I disagree with your following points: - "real hackers". I guess if you mean torrenting and refusing to pay for software products, then yes. - "Cluj is not broken". You need to take a walk through the city. Ahole drivers, bad infrastructure, bad services. Did I mention ahole drivers?

I think you might be from the bad part of town... where all the bad drivers and pirates where moved.

I usually rent an office 10-15 minutes from where I live so I can walk to work. No need to get in traffic or find a parking place and blame the system...

If you don't like Cluj then why didn't you move to Berlin, London, Amsterdam?

That's actually the same in most places with agencies, money are pouring in but doesn't go to devs. It's just the numbers might be higher in other countries. What you're doing is awesome, keep it up.
