Coding a social network

[karoshio]

My only problem is I suck with security so I'm going to have to find someone who's an awesome hacker.

You don't need a hacker for that.. Well, I mean you need someone who can look through the code for exploits.

I'm going to start up work on this, thinking about whether to get some other workers or not, but I can't be bothered with legal battles.

More workers will not cause legal battle, there's no reason for that at all. I would saying getting PHP developers who work for nothing would be more difficult.



Considering how easy it is to create a social network you'll need to offer a pretty damn good reason for anyone to help with pay. I mean any ol' PHP programmer could create the basis of a social network with many common functionality in one day.

Best results come from hackers, because they're the people you need to fear with security.

I agree, but assuming that ZINC is going unincorporated on this, workers could do something silly in court, which would waste ZINC's money.

One day...how many hours? :lol:

I mean that having the code looked through is a faster and easier process.



He hasn't really invested anything 😛



Not that many hours honestly. The basis is simply a user profile then allow people to interact and update stuff. Very simple 😛.

Hello Zinc,

Just some background, I'm a professional senior software engineer who is passionate about programming.

I would say much kudos for attempting this! I find the ONLY way to learn is by building things yourself.
