Title: <p><pre><code>  THE OFFER
</code></pre>
I'm willing to do a few small web development jobs for a few HNers at <i>no cost whatsoever</i>. 
Bonus points if it's for your startup or you have continuous web development needs.<p><pre><code>  WHAT I CAN DO
</code></pre>
I like making web apps. I'm primarily a <i>Ruby</i> guy, and I love <i>Sinatra</i>, but Rails is cool too.
And while I've done some PHP, it's not for me. I also do frontend work of course <i>(XHTML, CSS,
JS with jQuery, amateur/minor graphic design)</i>. Minor Linux system administration is
manageable for me too, like configuring web servers or databases and deploying apps.
But I'm no expert, having learnt what I know by being an Ubuntu user and managing a few servers.<p>If you need something that I can't do yet, note that I love learning new things — how do
you think I got myself into all this?<p><pre><code>  WHY I'M DOING THIS
</code></pre>
I've been teaching myself this stuff over the last few years, but I don't have too much to
show for it. I want to freelance, so I'm trying to build up my portfolio, and doing some free
work occurred to me as a great way to do so while making new contacts at the same time. I tried
this approach with success a couple of weeks back and I'm trying it again at a larger scale now.<p><pre><code>  CAVEATS
</code></pre>
I'm obviously not terribly experienced in anything at all, though I <i>am</i> free.
I just ask that requests be very limited in scope (say, something that would take a decent
developer a few days), and I should be able to show the work in my portfolio. Also, I'm only
free the first time. Finally, if I get many requests somehow, I may have to turn some down.
But I doubt that will happen.<p><pre><code>  YOU SHOULD CONTACT ME
</code></pre>
Even if you're not sure, or don't need it until later. What do you have to lose? Not money.
What might you gain? A reasonably competent coder, or at least some work done by one.
