I've worked professionally with python, ocaml and erlang.

Thanks!

There are so many people out there looking for work, sometimes I think I could just be the middle man and take on 4-5x as many projects and just pass them on to these freelancers and make money that way...
If you can get 4x-5x the projects, that is definitely a good model to start your own web design company.
I wouldn't mind having an agent. Looking for work is annoying.
SEEKING FREELANCER

I'm looking for a freelance Rails dev to help me with Talkbee (http://talkb.ee). It's a knowledge marketplace where you can book sessions with experts.

I'm in Paris, France but remote work is no problem. I'm looking for someone who's motivated by the project, but unlike most of the "join my startup so we can become the next Facebook" things I'm definitely willing to pay you for your time.

If interested, email me at hello[at]talkb.ee

Hello Sacha, I just shot you an email.

Your portfolio is amazing and I'd love to work with you. I've actually stumbled upon your blog in the wild before, and your post about designers who can't code and vice versa hit home for me. Although I'm primarily a programmer, I've made it a point to cultivate an eye for design (contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity - CRAP - as one book so humorously reinforced), striving for elegantly simple user interfaces, and working closely with graphic designers to straddle the form/function fulcrum in a balanced way.

I hope to hear back from you!

Regards, Jonathan
