Hire me and pay what you want, just give me interesting work
So there are two issues with this:<p>1. If I were looking to hire someone and read this, I would immediately be turned off. Why? Because part of being an engineer (or any employee really) is doing a bunch of stuff people don&#x27;t enjoy doing. This includes:<p>- Writing documentation<p>- Writing tests<p>- Fixing bugs<p>- Talking to partners about a change&#x2F;launch<p>- Talking to lawyers<p>- etc<p>So I would be wondering: if you&#x27;re signaling you don&#x27;t want to do those things, that means someone else will need to do all that for your code, which is not great for them and tends to be much worse.<p>Like you&#x27;re basically saying you want to cherrypick the parts you enjoy and not give a damn about anything else. You might say you&#x27;re only costing $1&#x2F;hour but the risk of a bad engineer can mean you&#x27;re still expensive or a loss.<p>2. You don&#x27;t factor in the time cost of me or my team in onboarding you, dealing with you, dealing with your code and so on. That&#x27;s a big part of the filtering in hiring. People are deciding if they can justify that time investment and the opportunity cost involved.
