How much does it cost to hire some devs to finish my job?

I work with operations at a VC firm and we started developing an in-house solution to manage our funds and investments.I am no professional developer, I am a finance guy, and right now I am stuck. I can't manage my amateur codebase anymore nor develop it further.It is written in Rails, so my question is, how much does it cost to have 2-3 developers finish it in 2-3 months?

LOL
I really like the side-by-side navigation - felt much better than tabs!!!!

The rest of the browser needs a lot of work tho. It needs to run faster and look much better.

Re:85 richest now have as much money as poorest 3.5B on Friday November 07, 2014 @10:38PM (#8575914)
Those figures can be shocking at first but if you think about it the problem is not those 85 richest having as much as the poorest 3.5B. Probably those 85 people reinvest a huge part of their net worth in assets. It is not as 85 people consume as much as 3.5B people -- shifting consumption from the top 85 to the poorest 3.5B would not make a difference.

You couldn't do much for ~1.5 bn people living in poverty by redistributing wealth from the top 100 richest.

But when you compare the resources developed countries have, and compare the average living standards of developed countries against underdeveloped countries, then you have a huge difference.
