I've always had the drive to do things like this in my spare time. I'd love to get paid for solving technical problems for an employer. I think besides the obvious, I'd make a good candidate for an employee at something like Facebook.

More companies should encourage hiring developers who would solve problems in their spare time. When I applied for an apprenticeship at 8th Light, they had me write a tic tac toe game, and I wrote it in 4 or 5 different languages, just for fun. I think that's why they hired me.

Man, it would be good to have an employer. Any takers?
