out of curiosity, what did he need done and how much was he offering? I do think the kind of SWE you need for that kind of job is unlikely to hang out on fiverrr or upwork.
- dukeofdoom 5y agoI don't know the exact details. But I can find out, if you know someone that might be interested in such a project. "My dad, who I copied on this email had a quick question regarding hiring a programmer to write a small program for a farm equipment control system" is what I responded to.
- gpm 5y agoYou're on a forum filled with bored software engineers, posting details right here is a pretty good idea ;) If contract work isn't against the rules for them (not sure), and the job is otherwise reasonable (feasible, not too open ended, not throwing up giant red flags) I bet he would get some bites by posting to the monthly "who is hiring" threads too. Depending on the details of the request I might be willing to do it, more because I think it might be interesting to work on a "farm equipment control system" than anything else. Coincidentally I gave notice at my job a week ago so I'll have some free time coming up.
- dukeofdoom 5y agoOkay, great. I just emailed him to find out if he hired someone. If he hasn't if there a way to private message on here? I can forward your contact info to him.
- gpm 5y agoMy email is in my profile (i.e. click on my username).
- dukeofdoom 5y agogreat, thank you. I forwarded him your contact info.
- gpm 5y agoI appreciate it :)
- gpm 5y agoJust noticed HeyLaughingBoy's post too, from his description I'd say there's a pretty good chance his experience is more on point than mine (it is a bit hard to tell from the limited description here though). Not to torpedo my chances, but you might want to forward his contact info on too.
