I'm having a hard time imagining the sorts of tasks I could hand-off to you. To all the people offering encouragement here, can any of you comment on something specific you could see yourself using this for?

I suppose I can think of things like... suppose I had a DB schema, you can create the SQL and the Django models for me. But I'm really wracking myself to think-up better examples. I mean, I don't start new django projects very often. And even then, it's rare I work out an entire DB schema on paper first. Usually the process of creating the Django models teases-out the final design decisions.



What if you have some processing you need to make in a collection of your programming language? What if you have to make a script (in your favorite scripting language) to fetch and transform information? How about some good old SQL queries you need to develop? How about that algorithm you have to implement?

Our premise is that programmers often find themselves with these micro problems that can be often considered yak shaving.

Please don't shave yaks; use us :) (thank you for your interest)


And even then, it's rare I work out an entire DB schema on paper first.

One scenario: building a new django app on top of an old database.
