Code Reads

I'm sure Jeremy can only do so much code reviews a day (unless he's a ninja robot), so why isn't there a crowd-sourced version of this? Sometimes I write code that I would like other coders to help/critique with. Github is great for collaborating and some code reviews happen (pull requests) but sometimes you're just working on a project and have no idea whether you're writing the right things or not. There have been times where I'm writing Python code and kept wondering whether I was being pythonic.

Think of it as a StackOverflow for code review. Reviewing someone's code gives you karma/points/kudos/, and dupes are OK because we're trying to encourage everyone to help (score points). Note: I haven't really given this a lot of thought, just an idea.

I wish there were a real example (to get a sense for the types of things he looks at), involving an open source project (how about coffeescript itself?)

(Jeremy, are you still working for the NYT and free-lancing, or has your wanderlust finally made you take off for good?)

Looks like a great idea. Maybe you could require projects first convert to Literate CoffeeScript to make your job easier. ;-)

Just curious: how much do such prolific programmers usually charge? (Hourly/daily/etc.)

as much as people are willing to pay.
