NYCPHP Meetup

That is incorrect.  Perhaps a few programmers at Wall Street firms are 
getting $90 an hour, but the going rate for normal folks here in NYC is 
about $50/hr.

Although for sure plenty of folks come onto the NYC list and try to 
undercut our rates...

Also "website redesign" is not usually programming but involves other 
skills (like CSS, graphics design, etc).  I would not be surprised to 
see rates differ between that and actual programming tasks.
