Reasonable advice. But I am in a fortunate position where I can do somethings just for thrills.

>> Why not at least ask for equity?
These are my monthly expenses. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42049000
Side projects wont make a dent in them. Or won't materially imrpove anything for me.
>>Or make your own project? I have gone down that route. But w.r.t my own projects, I am stuck in a local minima.
>>There are so many possible projects that are more about marketing than substance, where you could build the technical side quite quickly (e.g an LLM wrapper with a RAG for [insert niche here]).
Agreed. But this of this offer as a hobby rather than a money making avenue. Something to do for fun

>> but the new administration hasn't even gone into office and I cannot get away from this.
Well, it cuts both ways. New administration should not be talking till they are in office.

I have ideas and experience but no time. I will tell the intern what to code and he/she will code it up for me. Example:
I want a webpage with all youtube links posted to HN in last 24 hours.
He will make it for me

Another example. Go to all common crawl, identify all webpages related to NCSU, download images in them, run YOLO to remove human faces, run Falcon model to remove logos and see what comes up. Intern will code it up for me.

When FAANG was all the rage, I had a hard time getting feedback on my coding skills. So, I made a website where candidates can post their code and experiences folks can give their feedback.

You post the question, role description and your solution. Somebody will give you feedback. Still in beta, but do give it a try.

It is just better to assume that ghosting is usual practice and any deviation is a welcome change. You, as a candidate, are trying to make a sale. Buyer has not obligation to get back to you, just like when you take a quote from someone for home repairs.

Wow. I had not thought of that. While idea makes sense, even MVP for this is going to be daunting
