I didn't understand the question. I was thinking it was a survey or something. Well, if anyone's interested, I'm always looking to connect with PHP developers and front-end people who are passionate about social applications :)
And how to get in touch with you? You should put an email or something.

Hey bravura, Do you mind elaborating your process of hiring remote workers for short term gigs? Do you make them sign NDA agreements? How do you make sure they are not abusing the code that you give them? Thanks
Typically, I do an email screen with a bunch of questions, to get a sense of how the applicant will fit in. (I apologize to applicants to whom I haven't responded yet. The response has been overwhelming so far, but it's important to me to give everyone a shot and not let someone good fall through the cracks.) Depending upon whether I think they can take a leading role, I will ask them some hard open-ended NLP or ML p…
Europe (remote): The Open Knowledge Foundation is looking for Python Coders. OKFN ( http://okfn.org ) is a non-profit organization promoting open knowledge: any kind of information – sonnets to statistics, genes to geodata – that can be freely used, reused, and redistributed. In particular we're working on an open source data catalogue, CKAN ( http://ckan.net ) which is used by various governments (including the UK's…

Just an idea, but you'll probably find your time better spent building and submitting a doc, than complaining to your potential future employer.
An employer that only accepts word and PDF documents for my 'resume' isn't one I want to work for. You'd think that'd be clear from my displeasure with their rather factory-oriented submission process. I'm not in need of a job right now, I am poking around because I'd like to have some side work for when I leave the country. Not mandatory by any means. Just an idea, but you may want to get off your high horse and go…
Hours would vary between 40 to 160 per month on an ongoing basis.
Graphic and design skills are highly desirable, but not necessary.
Please send Resume/CV/Website to: rmpffi@gmail.com
Ruby Lane is looking for a software engineer in CA, FL, GA, IL, OK, PA, TN, TX (where we already have tax nexus) or UK. https://jobs.github.com/positions/3f32d3da-d6e6-11df-9745-71... Our 12 year old codebase is mostly in TCL/AOLServer. TCL isn't that bad and can be learned in a couple of days. Big plus if we find someone strong in Javascript/jQuery and front-end design. Almost all of Ruby Lane's staff is distributed…

I think the minute he starts complaining about the company, is the minute it's no longer appropriate to call it his future company! Academically, he's trying to serve up a point. But he's potentially doing more damage to himself by doing so.
I don't need a job right now and as I mentioned elsewhere, this kind of thing usually takes a company out of the running for me anyway.

It's far simpler than that. Everyone person in a position to make a hire has potentially irrational but commonly effective "cues" they use to sniff out if a candidate is a bad idea. Such cues would be carelessness, lack of attention to detail, poor handwriting, anything that suits the fancy of the person doing the observing really. As someone who's doing some casual sniffing about, I do the same thing. If I see indic…
I don't think that anybody meant to imply that you weren't allowed to have standards. Either you consider the job worthy of the annoyance of applying, or you don't. Given the latter, I see little point in bitching about the process while still soliciting employment. Call me old-fashioned.
My just launched startup - videolla.com is looking for remote sales/marketing/blogger/biz dev/everything. Basically its a small gig, but if this idea proves itself might turn into full-time something. Might be great for intern/student/part-time. Small salary + commission + bonuses. Email vlad /a/ videolla.com Extra bonus ifyou can code on Rails

Honestly speaking, if you are getting hung up on a problem as simple as this and can't seem to find a creative solution, YC may not be the best place to look for jobs. I know this sounds harsh, but I really feel compelled to type it.
You've missed the point. I can generate a PDF/DOC in a minute. I can do it programmatically using a parser and a lib. That's not what I'm getting at. The resumator thing is annoying. People make note of far less serious UI mea culpas on here all the time. But when they want a job, they're suddenly willing to tolerate anything. The hypocrisy here is astounding .
I agree that requiring a PDF/DOC/etc. is annoying and horrible UI and probably drives off some brilliant prospective employees.
And I have also had the experience you're having now, where it seems like everyone has agreed to ignore the point and belabour ad nauseum some other, tangentially related issue.
