NDA expired, let’s spill the beans on a weird startup
Reminds me of something.<p>I used to work with a senior guy who went freelance and then bunched together with several other freelancers, also seniors, to form... "an operation". The MO was that one of them would go and interview for a permanent job, impress the heck out of everyone and then say "there's more like me, be happy to help you out, <i>but</i> on a contract basis <i>and</i> as a group." They were basically bait-n-switching them to outsource parts of their development and in some cases it worked, because their fees were very reasonable. And the fees were reasonable because they did very little of the actual work themselves and instead re-outsourced it to some Ukranain dudes.<p>Looked fishy as fuck and I'm not sure how it ended because I felt out of touch with the guy.
