Perl, remote, Asperger's. Give me your hardest data / db / sysadmin / web problem or project. If I accept it, I will give you correct, beautiful code that anyone can maintain.
If you can't explain the problem in a sentence or two, it's not ready to be solved. If you need a conference call to sort it out, solve that problem first. Please be just one person, not a hierarchical collective. Allow enough time and budget for a correct solution. If you need to ask my hourly rate, you can't afford it :)
- avree 15y ago>If you need to ask my hourly rate, you can't afford it :) Sorry, but what does that even mean?
- rjbond3rd 15y agoI'm talking about the recruiters and corporate people who are looking for someone who charges, e.g., "no more than $100 an hour." What does that mean if the problem is never solved correctly? That at least they got a bargain? To me, an important problem is one where the lack of a solution is the big cost.
- lhnz 15y agoIs this passive aggression? The "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" meme in luxury goods/services contexts is fairly well-known. (I find it quite amusing that somebody that has positioned themselves as having aspergus was being downvoted for what appear to be social reasons.)
- illumin8 15y agoOff topic, I know, but your posting reminds me of Paul Rand, the man who designed the Next logo for Steve Jobs: http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/october/jobs-v-rand http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/october/jobs-v-...
- rjbond3rd 15y agoI love the simplicity and clarity of this line: "I will solve your problem and you will pay me," he told Jobs.
