Whomever hires Vlad, please pay the guy at least $10 an hour and gain some respect from the community not to be seen as a greedy bastard abuser. That, and all the life-karma you'll get.
Idea HN: Create a page for 'Hackers in need' where people can offer their services for $10/hr until they get out of the trouble zone. Lots of people can benefit from some quick and inexpensive coding while helping a fellow coder.
- dhruvbird 16y agoI like this "hackers in need idea". Though there needs to be a way to keep out the leechers/time wasters. A turing test of sorts or captcha for programmers?? Dunno...

- natnat 16y agoYou can require anyone trying to sign up to complete a reasonably difficult programming problem. It could either be sandboxed on the server, like Facebook's engineering puzzles, or require a short output like Project Euler. This would drive away people who can't do FizzBuzz and nontechnical people who want to hire someone to make Facebook for dogs or whatever.
