Free housing in SF for talented hackers
9 points by harroworld 4601 days ago
Hi all, I'm offering free housing for talented hackers in the bay area that would be interested in helping out / getting involved with my project in exchange. A little about me: I'm a Thiel fellow - paid $100,000 by paypal founder / first Facebook investor peter thiel to drop out of college (http://www.thielfellowship.org/).

Right now, we're looking for hackers preferably with experience in some combination of the following:

javascript nodejs html css iOS android phonegap

We have a beautiful house in a great location and an awesome startup atmosphere.

We need to make sure that you have the right qualifications of course, but if you're interested, please leave us with your email address and we'll get back to you with more info.

Define "helping out / getting involved", since that is obviously not the same as "free". It's important to be clear on expectations up front so neither you nor those who take you up on your offer feel taken advantage of.

Free is great, but it may require someone giving up on a decent housing situation and then have to find an alternative situation if things don't work out between them and you. When that happens, they are left trying to find a new housing situation in a city notorious for low housing availability.

Also along with your email, please leave some info about what projects you have worked on / github, ect
