Ask HN: If I work for you for 100 days, will you help me pay for Bloc?

HN,

I've been fortunate enough to receive the diversity scholarship from Bloc.io and am looking to take their Android course. So far, I've been able to take two courses on Thinkful.com (Frontend and Ruby on Rails).

But personally and for my startup, I really want to dive into mobile and Bloc is probably the best way to make that happen.

I'm asking that if I work for you on whatever remote work you need for 100 days - within reason :) - you help me pay the $2000 for Bloc and really I only need help with the first $1000.

How could I help you? Anything from virtual assistant, to data entry, to web development I can do or learn quickly. I'm extremely motivated and you will be able to see that pretty quickly!

More about me? Well... https://github.com/mikeadeleke http://mikeadeleke.github.io/portfolio/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeadeleke https://twitter.com/mikeadeleke https://angel.co/domi-1

100 days is crazy. Someone is gonna get a good deal on your remote labor. Seriously, you could probably earn $2k in 20-40 hours of good dev work. At most 100 hours, certainly not 100 days.

Did you really think this through before posting it? If you didn't delete the post.

100 days of development work you should be looking at around $8000 $10000 at least.

I have this hunch this guy is just hussling his way through.

I think (don't know for sure) that bloc.io is his website (paying for courses). "I'm fortunate to receive... from bloc.io" + "Bloc is probably the best way to make this happen".Also his portfolio are all clones from existing websites and on bloc.io = learn from copying reddit, ...

This guy is not serious, he wants to promote his startup in disguise :)

Next time, just say when you want to promote something instead of "this"
