I'm a bootcamp graduate, with all the good and ugly parts of the experience that that status entails (Good: I learned more in ten weeks than I might ever have before in my life. Ugly: I still feel a far-cry from production-ready.) and I wanted to propose something to the population of Hacker News: A mutually beneficial, adapted-to-modern-times apprenticeship.
The problem: I have the means to contribute professionally in development, but only small, personal projects (along with my bootcamp capstone) under my belt for experience. I need hands-on experience with larger projects in order to convince anyone to make a serious bet on my future and hire me, full-time.
The solution: I help you out. I write code, refactor, do the semi-technical grunt-work and scripting that always comes with dev projects. Anything that could help me be more attractive as a developer in the future.
What I ask: A recommendation and - on a larger level - career guidance. The opportunity to code meaningful things.
Who this is great for: open-source hackers, freelancing lone wolves, senior devs who want to outsource some things.
