SEEKING WORK | Argentina | Remote

Email: hn.eafer@gmail.com

I'm a programmer, most familiar with C on Linux (both userland and the kernel) and Win32. I'll be happy to start a project from scratch, or to help support any old codebase. For a sample of my work please see rdrview [1], a small command line tool that found some success here on Hacker News; or [2], a naive filesystem implementation I've been working on.

My usual rate is 15 USD/hour, and I don't expect to be paid until I have something to deliver. For what it's worth, I have a background in math.

You are underselling yourself. Try tripling your rate, to start with.
eafer
Thanks, but I want more work, and it's hard to get low-level jobs remotely. I wouldn't mind working on web development or whatever, but I have no experience there, so it's only natural to ask for less money.
zerr
It's the same from another side - it is hard to find low-level devs nowadays. Also, you might be missing some clients because many would think you provide mediocre service since you charge so low.
eafer
> Also, you might be missing some clients because many would think you provide mediocre service since you charge so low.

I guess I can see that. The thing is, my rates are not low at all by the standards of my country. Minimum wage here is like 50 cents/hour.

zerr
Yes, but this is HN audience... You can continue billing local clients with local rates, but HN clients would happily accept "HN rates" ;)
