I am a mid-level programmer at best. I didn't go to school for it, but I was forced to pick it up at work and learn to use it. I thought this would be an interesting way to push myself to learn more and use some different programming muscles than I normally get to flex at the office.
I am guessing it is a detriment to me, not being a professional programmer, that they would know how to better plan this out and how to gauge what ideas are doable and what ideas are not. I have tons of ideas, we will see if I ever get anywhere with them I am trying to get some of the basics into the system now, but I need to find a nice hard stop and then work on shining up the pieces I got done to usable levels. All the features and fluff would come afterwards.
Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to imply I don't think GM's should charge for their time, they definitely should!
