> Might try to be tricky and get you to sign your code away

My code is GPL, lol

I get reminded of Telegram and especially VK, which used to only hire coding competition winners

Why would they accept my consulting gig though if they can hire someone to do it themselves?

1) Funny

2) Agree it's a stupid thing to brag about. Reminds me of Theranos

3) Yes, that's the vibes i'm getting. But they'd like me to spend time on their project, not the open-source project

Make an offer

Why send a personal letter then?

I have this feeling that they're spoiled because of all the money they've got

Good thing is, i don't care about money as much as they do!

Cool, thanks mate!

Do you have an idea how i can bring it up in a polite manner?

Great, will check the course out

I don't think competing in answering questions anybody can learn is my skill or is a great skill to have. I'm a creative guy!

Wish you much luck with girls!

Yes, i'm thinking about it right now

But i'm certain that i will keep doing open-source, regardless if i get hired or spin it off into a startup myself

In addition to that post:

1) They said they only "hire the best" (i'm certainly great, but not the best)

2) They bragged about how they have "more money they could ever spend"

3) They expect me to compromise my side projects and consulting activities, because "Series B startups are a whole different type of experience"

All my commercial activities relevant to that open-source project i have done via handshakes, no interviews

Nice idea. I'm thinking of offering to complete a take-home project or go through some of my open-source work line-by-line

BUT, i have no idea if they're willing to agree or would just drop me after that altogether

Share the secret with me?
