Re:Ask HN: Appropriate Intern Hiring for start up on Thursday December 02, 2010 @05:24PM (#1963919)
In such an earl stage in a starup with extremely limited funding, it would be hard to consider our non existent product a for profit venture. I think there is a balance where both the intern and us could benefit. They get the experience, and a chance to prove themselves. If they proof themselves and the venture is successful they could later become full time. Does this sound feasible?

What is appropriate for the kind of work to let them do? What is appropriate where it benefits both parties and doesn't take advantage?

Too many business people think programming is a commodity that can be easily outsourced. Too many programmers think business people all have vague ideas. They are both wrong.
