HN: Hire me for a token wage and help me validate my idea.
5 points by mmieszek 4667 days ago
PROPOSAL

I will perform several short development tasks in exchange for a token wage. I am willing to spend 10 to 20 hours working on a task that you provide me with. This amount of time should be sufficient to develop a new product feature, fix several bugs, or develop a simple MVP. If all you require is some consultation, I would be willing to help as well.

I can do web app development. Bonus points for Scala tasks. I feel comfortable with Ruby and Python as well. I can handle frontend tasks well (CSS, JS/jQuery).

WHY

I have an idea for an on-demand programming service that I would like to verify in a lean startup way, through a series of short experiments. Each experiment would involve me doing some small development jobs, so everyone should benefit from it. I also wish to check how effectively I can switch between tasks.

COST

I will charge $1 USD per hour for my work. I want to make sure that I get serious offers only. You will own the IP rights to all the work I would have done, and it is okay if you decide not to use any of my code. I will not charge you if you are unhappy with the outcome, although I will ask you for feedback.

CONTACT

Please feel free to contact me even if you are not convinced, or just want to say hello. :) E-mail: marcin.mieszek@gmail.com Skype: mmieszek

Hi Marcin,

I have one idea about a useful plugin for twitter. Are you comfortable with "text meaning" and twitter apps?

Hi,

I believe I will be able to help. Please send me an email so we could discuss the details.

Regards,

Marcin

i recently read a lot of "add tests" on Todo listsĀ of smaller (single dev) open source projects. Would you consider writing tests?
Sure, especially if this is open source. Please shoot me an email with some more details.
