Payments for freelancers

You can have your clients pre-fund your contract. You push milestones at tags on git, and when they approve your milestone you get paid instantly, and they get a zip of the code

Many people just weren't good fits culturally or technically and when you are running a startup there things get overlooked.

hn0114@boun.cr - send me your resume with a subject line that says resume feedback and i'll take a look

Random anecdote, I was walking SXSW last week and some kids came up and said hi since they noticed the YC founder I was with. One said " I applied to your company and I don't think I got a response ". I took that kids card because his attitude is one to make things happen. So if you want something, make it happen.

Portland, OR or New York, NY

Hey guys... We got a great response on this back in January and now we are expanding.... So here is an updated version now that we are a team of two hiring.

Hey, HN. One of you is perfect for this idea.

We are two serial entrepreneurs currently trapped in the professions of being a freelance contractor. We have relatively stable 40 hour a week projects, and incoming projects as well that I generally can't take due to lack of resources (time, the most precious one)

So here's the idea. You. Are interesting and have some experience in coding (webapps, mobile, whatever) would be a coding apprentice. I would give you a guaranteed 20 hour a week gig for now, and flex additional work as it comes in and you are available. (also now looking for 40 hours)

You would work on entrepreneurial ideas and contracts and get paid for doing so. If something took off the ground we could negotiate revenue/equity, but no matter what you will be getting paid.

Here is what you get. Money Freedom and Flexibility (need the day off to deal with a hangover because you are in college and its friday?) Real World Education Ability to become a killer coder and whatever else. we are pretty flexible

Languages? Python/Ruby Obj-C Javascript(Node) You name it. If you can show competency in some language we currently do, then we can work together and you can get paid to learn and become an expert at any other languages as required.

About us, your 'bosses'. Boss #1 (Portland Office) Early 30s. Built several large-scale enterprise applications used by Fortune 500 companies. Lead engineering and product for a VC-funded healthcare startup. Last company built infrastructure that stored over 1 billion objects and transferred hundreds thousand objects per day.

Currently living in PDX (Inner SE) and renting a space at a co-working facility. Open to having you work here, or at my house. I prefer day hours, 10-6pm PST, but I am flexible.

Boss #2 (New York Office) Late 20s. Been in and out of various startups. Started ideas from scratch. Reasonably connected in the 'valley'. No stranger to a term sheet. I have done hiring for a YC company. Been on both the business and engineering side of places.

Currently living in NYC (manhattan) with enough room for you to come clock hours, but you can be remote as well, or both. I have been travelling a lot because it means that working 9-5 EST is a much more reasonable 12-8 or even sometimes 9pm - 5am.

I like tinkering with OSS and hardware too, obsessed with gadgets.

============== tl;dr Long story short, you will get paid to learn how to code in the real world, become an entrepreneur or freelancer (or both) and then hopefully be able to repeat this process.

You'll get hands on attention and code reviews without some PM breathing down your neck. (unless you are working on a project that requires it).

We'll figure out a good hourly rate, and when you are working on a project that is paid, probably double it. And then fall back to the normal rate when we are working on whatever random ideas I want to incubate.

email hn0314@boun.cr with a little bit about yourself, a resume if you have it, and most importantly either a github or code sample.

In Ear: On in ear, you should spent the extra money for custom ear molds. This will allow for all day comfort: http://www.sensaphonics.com/

If the headphones you are considering are not on this list, then I would not consider them. I like shure, but you can also get etymotic research.

Over Ear: Beyer Dynamic DT 770. Velour ear pads (for all day comfort and isolation)

I have owned: Shure E2C, E4C with custom molds, Shure 840, Beyer Dynamic DT 770, Bose TriPort (previous lightweight champion, but lacking on sound)

I have tested extensively: Audio Technica m50 (more base response), beats (too much bass), All kinds of sennheiser under $150, and various other brands under $200.

Also, just ordered a third party version for $16.47 with amazon prime: http://pys.me/Trc It says that it is compatible with wii fit so I am hoping it uses the same protocol.
