This is really awesome, so awesome I think that you should think about how to monetize it and make some serious money. (I know that's seemingly against the "hacker ethos", but it's not often that you think of million-dollar ideas).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Pay is probably a better indicator though. People can have years of experience and still not be good at the job, but pay highlights what kind of value they are generating. Someone who is not good at the job is unlikely to be in the position to earn top dollar. There will be outliers. Like the talented person who is willing to work for peanuts just because the job is amazing. But that is why there is an infinite numbe…
Well, in my city average pay for programmers is 12 000 $. I know of people earning 35 000 $, but that's the upper limit. So if I wanted to use this site I would be considered bad programmer.
But if you're making $8,000 in your city, that raises some questions.
I could annualize it but I don't actually work full time so that wouldn't be accurate.
I'm a alert('lulz'), and I currently make $40,000 in alert('lulz'). I'm ONLY interested in jobs as a alert('lulz') that pay at least $120,000 in alert('lulz').
It struck me as odd that I would want to hire people this way. As far as I can tell everyone is just asking for more money (big surprise, I know) but it says nothing about what they want to do, are interested in, etc. Do I just blindly reach out to a bunch of people and hope they match my needs?
In fact, I would pay a few bucks up-front if you could somehow assure that I would only be put in contact with technical people that actually work for the company doing the hiring (no recruiters at all). And I'd pay to validate that I satisfy that requirement from the hiring side as well.
