If you have ever taken a basic course in economics then you have heard the term “division of labor”. What this term means is that people are able to be more efficient if they have specialties. Rather than trying to produce just enough beef, eggs, milk, and candles for my family—it makes far more sense for me to just make candles, and then sell or trade the excess candles for the beef, eggs, or milk of another family who specializes in those products. In this way we all work less and gain more.

We now utilize the division of labor in virtually all efforts, but there are ways to do it even better. For example, coding can be a laborious task—and one which can often cost far too much through professional firms. Rent-A-Coder exists to allow amateurs, foreigners, and others to bid on your coding projects. Here is how it works: You post a project, they bid on it, and the winner of the bidding war gets the contract for your project. This allows coders in India to compete with soccer moms in Indiana. The best quality of work for the best price, determined by the employer, will win. This uber-competitive market allows for hundreds of thousands of coders to seek out a central location where they can find projects. It also allows employers to post projects where they are sure a maximum number of bidders will see them and fight for the lowest bid.
