Yes, that's it. Unfortunately, not quite enough to rely on full time. I would love for it to be, and I've thought about building a broader community to gain a larger audience and potentially…

I totally see where the OP is coming from. 12 years ago, I built a site I had absolutely zero intentions of making money from. I had an interest in an upcoming video game, and thought it would make a …

I never thought to post there because I'm not looking for freelance work, period. Sure some still post there, but how many companies looking for full-time developers are looking there? I would th…

As someone posting my resume, I actually found it very valuable -- at least for me. I had five different companies reach out to me, and all of them were relevant. Three of them sound very interesting …

I wouldn't mind -- strictly from a user standpoint -- if all code was in one place. It's easier to collaborate and contribute to other repositories when they're all in the same SCM and …

Thanks for your thoughts, and for blessing the creation of a thread. I'll set one up in the morning to see how it goes. I can see some concerns mentioned below being a potential issue, but I thin…

Exactly. Except for the "Seeking freelancer?" part. That's covered by "Who is hiring?". I'm basically looking for the inverse of "Who is hiring?". "Who wan…
