Offer HN: PHP/C/C++ Coding

11 points| terryjsmith | 15 years ago | reply

I've decided to give this a go. I'm not sure the Offer HN paradigm extends well to programming but I figure I'll give it a shot.

Who I am: I'm a wannabe/aspiring entrepreneur. My start-up is waiting on our application to Twitter for fire hose access before we can launch. I am also the lead developer at B5Media (www.b5media.com), one of the world's largest blog networks.

What I am good at: PHP, especially Wordpress. I know Wordpress code like the back of my hand. I am also very good at plug-in reviews and security after having the privilege of working with Mark Jaquith while he was with B5. I am also quite good at going from mock-up (PSD or the like) to a working website with XHTML, CSS, jQuery, etc.

Outside of PHP, I am also decent with C/C++ on Linux/Unix server stuff and Windows (though it's been a while).

I feel my biggest advantage is getting code shipped. I dropped out of CS in third year (and was never a good student anyways) and am not particularly strong on the theory side of things. I pride myself on building quickly and iterating rapidly.

While I wait on a response from Twitter I am open to doing some small items (bug fixes, HTMLing, etc.). If you're interested, e-mail me at [email protected] or leave a comment here if you have questions. I hope to see and work on some exciting things.

Note: I also always love bouncing ideas around. If you want to talk start-up ideas or programming bugs out with me, e-mail or Skype me (ternaryworks).
