Tell HN: You should pay me $250 to build something for you.

5 points by Brewer ↗ HN
I'm a college student majoring in Computer Science and I love hacking on cool software projects. I have a bit of experience with Python and some experience with Django as well. I'm a quick learner though and I wouldn't mind picking up some Ruby/Rails experience!

My list of projects is pretty short. I built my own website (which is yet to go live because I don't have the money for a domain) and I'm a research assistant for a CS professor at my university (doing work with robots using Java). Aside from that, there isn't much else.

I want two things out of this: I want experience, and I want a little bit of pay. The experience is more important, but of course I'd like to have some money so that I can fund my own projects.

My price is $250, flat rate. Here's the catch: We will decide on a deadline together and if I don't meet that deadline, I will finish the work and it will all be free.

Other conditions will apply and we'll discuss those later.

Feel free to leave questions or comments below or contact me at jjb127@mun.ca.

Note: Some of you may have seen adelevie's post advertising his services for $500. I am not undercutting him. He sen't me an email saying that this seems to be working well for him. I am charging less because I am less experienced.

I like your idea, I wish I had it first.

Best of luck for you :)

Thanks. If you read that last paragraph though, I didn't have the idea first. :)
