Ask HN: Are there any CS students that would do a project for $500?

2 pointsby jjets718almost 14 years ago
Hi everyone, I'm working on a startup, and we're looking for a student or recent graduate in computer science that would be interested in bolstering their portfolio by completing the MVP or functional prototype for our idea. Our asking price is $500 dollars for the completed project, with any changes that we felt were needed with the final product. All of the intellectual property would be ours after the project was finished. Any students with mobile/web app experience that are comfortable with the facebook places API and PayPal API or Venmo API, feel free to contact us at selfey.sw@gmail.com Thanks!

The "any changes that we felt were needed" part is what gives me pause. $500 for a couple week's simple coding work isn't bad for a student, but expecting development support atop that is highway robbery.

You're working on a startup? Then you should have more than $500 to invest in your product. Offer a humane hourly rate ($15/hr for a student programmer? Probably), and you might get what you want.

That's way too little an amount.
