I hired a programmer for 20k robux and it was pay per task. However I find out after he begins ignoring me that the entire game is buggy and unplayable. Is there a way I can get a refund from roblox?

Very sorry to hear something like that happened to you. You might be able to ask a moderator for a refund, however its unlikely that you will get any robux back. Hopefully everything gets better.

The only way to really be able to ensure no one scams you is to learn these skills yourself instead of hiring.
If you do want to hire though, do backround checks and stuff. Donāt hire a rnadom guy who claims to be a programmer and has no portfolio or anything for example.

Yes Iām learning how to code now, but I acknowledge this process will take me years . That is why I want to start making projects now and hiring people

Maybe, contact Roblox support. Ig thatās what the 30 days pending is for. Also ist illegal to scam in almost every country. You could get legal advise and sue the person, if he scammed you. I always want to point out, when smo gets scammed that the internet is not a place without laws. I also tell that anyone I work for.

That would require a lot more info than just this guyās username.
Also thatās an expensive and lengthy process for effectively $200

I want to point out, that after my informations you donāt have to pay the court price, but the person who lost. (I my country, idk if itās like that on your country to). Of course, you could also sue for damages.
But I donāt think itās certain that youāll win, I mean he delivered, just with a lack of quality.
To prevent something like this, I have a ToS that the other side has to agree to.

Usually, anything under ~$1,000 (USD) is considered āpetty theft.ā This is not to defame what occurred; scamming is very much unjustified and wrong, however, a lawsuit based on petty theft would never hold.

You can learn the basics in a week or 2 as the entire language is mostly just english.

I can read code and understand what itās doing, yet I donāt have good logic to write something by myself. However I only began learning to code once I looked at the scammerās code. ( His code is really really bad apparently. Worse than chatgpt )

Thatās a pretty good step in the process. Understanding other peopleās code makes it easier to learn how to write your own
Do you mind sharing any examples? Iām actually super curious now

This is weird. Itās a strange mix of good practices (type checking, profileservice) and just totally weird choices (using values > attributes, lack of proper variable usage)

hiring developers is kinda a gamble
if you build connections and have friends that dev, its much easier to hire them instead
if you do decide to hire in hidden devs or rodevs then you need to be very careful and cautious
- have they worked for someone else before?
- can anyone vouch for them?
- do they have a watermarked portfolio?

I canāt tell if the person who wrote it was under the influence and was blinking in and out of sobriety or what, but some of it is good and some of it is just esoteric at best.

This scares me knowing I want to learn lua because he said he had 5 years of experience . I do not want to practice coding for 5 years if people are gonna flame me like that

I think he was lying about that or was telling the truth and decided not to try at all.

he was definitely lying, this code is pretty ass
dont let this discourage you though, if you want to learn to code better just surround yourself with developers and pick up good coding practices
