Excerpts:

• Coders who haven’t yet achieved the status of a Top Coder are simply known as Coders. (page 31)
• The Inc. 5000 status is awarded to companies for high growth the private sector, and in 2007, RentACoder was the 82nd fastest growing software company nationwide (and the 3rd fastest growing company in the Tampa Bay area.) (page 114)
• One of the things that differentiates a coder from an employee is tax status. An outsourcing contract documents a contractor’s tax status for you, and it demonstrates the true nature of your working relationship. (page 152)
• RentACoder will automatically email a message asking you to click a validation link. Click it validate your hominid status and intention to become a virtual, outsourcing phenomenon. (page 171)
• If the status indicates an unavailable status, but a significant amount of time has passed from the date in the Updated field, the coder probably forgot to change the status and actually could be available for work. In this case, you may want to inquire about the status before communicating with the coder further. (page 229)
• And it gives lower ranking coders a chance to shine among the higher-ranking coders. But it’s a status that’s hard earned and quite frankly, hard to keep. (page 241)
• This time, we set our criteria to return a list of JavaScript programming coders who have a rating of at least 8, a minimum of 10 jobs, a last log in date of at least the beginning of 2009, a Top Coder status, and an Expert Guarantee certification. (page 251)
