It's too bad many of the toughest problems in companies are more typically on the integration level, which requires domain knowledge and context of the project itself. To solve these problems don't require brains, but time and communication.
I feel this service is targeted toward people who have simple one-off "puzzle" problems ie. write me a quick recommendation algorithm for a data structure of this format.
I'd be interested in seeing some case studies to see what exactly are the types of problems you are solving. "Small programming task" is a bit too vague for me.
- jaimefjorge 14y agoThose types of problems are addressed by consulting firms with thousands of employees. We are trying to be do micro consulting for that itch you have but cannot scratch it in time :) We are actually surprised by the amount of "puzzle" problems we are getting! Thank you for your interest. I will be putting an example problem page and a testimonial section as soon as possible to address that.

I am often trying to wire together a bunch of technologies and if someone built a 300-500 line toy sample app that I could take an extend this would go a long way. Examples ... Take d3.js and cubism.js, generating time series plots from data out of a postgres database using tornado or flask. Use spring,jdbc template,jetty,redis,jackson,jersey to create a caching web server pulling data from postgres, caching into redis and returning JSON data. Use this sample schema and JSON payload for the sketch.
