  That alone was enough to make me close the page. No option to send a CV or anything, just a "Sign in with LinkedIn" button.

  Plus a linkedin profile only really shows if someone is skilled or not at presenting himself in a good light. It's not necessarily a useful skill for the startups in question.

  My initial impression is that it would be best for those who would be doing internships anyways, like students early in their career. Perhaps the idea is top-notch developers who want to travel and do a little consulting while they travel, but I suspect it'd turn into something that looks closer to a full engagement. If so, there's quite a disconnect between that kind of situation and working for free room-and-board, at least for a well qualified consultant.

  That's probably the worst possible way to select for good programmers. In fact, I'm guessing any kind of correlation they can find will be negative.
