- shtpavel 12y agoYep, working on my own pet-projects is always sounds good and i'm doing it, but money, even small amount is always better motivation.
- city41 12y agoLook at it from the other side. Who would want to hire someone remotely and part time so they can learn a new stack? If someone is willing to hire both a part time and remote worker, they will want an experienced dev who can bring value right away.
- collyw 12y agoI learned Django / Python on the job (coming from Perl). My colleague was always ranting about how much better Python was than Perl. Having inherited her code, I was writing far better code while learning Python than she was after doing a PhD in bioinformatics (~4 years?).

- shtpavel 12y agoI think you don't understand me right... Simply: i want to find trainee aor junior remote job.
- AJ007 12y agoAs long as the individual can demonstrate strong existing programming & engineering skills, and their pay scale is modest, I haven't seen it as a problem.
- githulhu 12y agoHow about "don't pay me to learn technology X"? I wonder if there's such thing as an unpaid remote internship?
