sounds like some boilerplate we weren't aware of. thanks for bringing this up! will check it out and probably remove it. seems totally irrelevant, and i agree with your comments.

it's not about "highest bidder" - it's about efficiency and transparency.. in two weeks, developers have 5-20 detailed offers to pick from, and can then choose where to interview based on what companies look interesting, with all things considered. we're considering new names right now that make this clearer :)

> To raise conversion, it would be more beneficial to allow people to create a profile and then put themselves on the market at a point that they decide.

That is exactly how it works, although it sounds like we did not do a good job communicating it.

- first you create a profile, and submit it for review (not visible to ANYONE except for site admins at this point)

- receive an invitation to participate in an auction

- opt-in to the auction

- only then, when an auction starts, your profile will visible (and only to pre-approved employers during the course of the two week auction)

Thanks for the suggestion - we need to communicate this more clearly during the signup flow.

The summary field is the best way to talk about your side projects. And it takes markdown. :)

There's no newsletter, but you can sign up now and will be notified when we start approving developers from your region. We already have a lot of people signed up different geographies, which will help us figure out what regions to launch next.

Sorry about that. We'll add a link soon. In the meantime use this url while signed in: developerauction.com/users/unauth/github

One step at a time. :) We're working on international, H1B, and other geographies soon.

As a fellow self-taught "ghetto" developer, and one of the cofounders of Developer Auction -- believe me, this is a problem we plan to solve. :)

Limiting it to developers from places that already have rigorous selection practices is just a starting point. Any suggestions for how to evaluate talent otherwise? We have a few ideas, but would love to hear yours.

This is just the starting point, because these organizations already have rigorous hiring practices. I know - this sucks. But it's just a starting point.

We're trying to come up with ideas for how to open it up to a wider audience while still keeping up quality. Any ideas?
