It's not exploitative if they're clear what the expectations are and what you're given for them. Does this sound like an offer competitive with your best options? Knowing nothing of your situation other than "you can probably program" I'm going to go out on a limb and say "You can find better ways to get to a tropical resort than this."
- kasey_junk 12y agoYour definition of exploitative is a little broader than mine. I'd definitely say at the very least they are exploiting developers that don't understand current market rates.
- nostrademons 12y agoIt could easily be exploitative in the opposite way. What's to stop a developer from treating it as an all-expense paid vacation where they hang out on the beach all day and give lip service to the project they're hacking on? It sounds like BeMyApp is counting on the possibility of getting a job with them as a sufficient carrot to get free innovation, but unless they write a certain amount of time & results into the terms & conditions for their offer, there's no way to ensure that developers don't just take advantage of it. It's sold out, anyway, though, so it's a moot point (and we can't seem to view the actual terms and conditions).
