Also, I can't get over the fact that I read "ask" as "risk". Not sure what's the cause here :/

I am sorry for missing that. Thank you for correcting.

About friend - I know why he is busy. He is not of the type that makes lame excuses. He will say it on my face if he does not want to do it.

That's an interesting perspective. Why do you think it could be a big risk? Maybe I am not thinking about it properly?

I already practiced on those sites but there's a big difference between coding alone vs coding in an interview setting. That's the aspect I am trying to work on.

I am just trying to find someone who I can connect to outside HN for this purpose.

Depends on the type of person you are. If you are ambitious, then why not? But if the upside is capped in any way, then I see no harm in doing regular jobs. It's not just about money, there is safety, perks, social aspect etc.
