.NET Core Real Contractor Challenge

[AtW]

Erm ... what’s in it for any of us to fix some performance issue you have with your search engine? Can you not hire some contractor for this?

I am happy to hire contractor to implement it, but only if I am confident they can do it in reasonable timeframe - note that I don’t expect contractor to write assembly to make my code quicker, just to implement such ability in ipen sourced project .NET Core

P.S. I do know about current work to implement hardware intrinsics in the next version of .NET Core, having fully freedom with asm however seems a better way forward (they may never officially support it, but happy with a maintained patch)

Facebook used PHP, time to market matters, later they’ve spent a fair amount of money to speed it up, had they started with C/assembly they would have never finished.

Don’t expect you to understand it since you don’t run a real business...

When did Zuckerberg post on forums, looking for freebie answers to fix a problem with facebook coding, rather than paying for a skilled resource, or upskilling an existing employee?

Facebook must not be a 'real business'

I don't want a freebie answer, you moron, I want to hire quality person who can do it - looks like I am looking in the wrong place though.

Yes, that well-known professional hiring strategy, consisting of posting a query on an anonymous internet forum, before going on to offer a particular poster a paid opportunity?

All other businesses have been going about hiring the wrong way - spread the word AtW

I thought it would be a perfect outside IR35 job for a qualified contractor, so I decide to give my good CUK buddies first dibs on it.

Why would somebody want to write assembly code if it was not for performance? No wonder you voted for Brexit!

Assembly code should be anything I can do in normal C/C++ - can target just x64 (no need for cross platform), but I want convenience of writing it in C# rather than having to recompile framework itself - this is again for performance reasons, of a programmer.

Assembly will only be used for functions that will be called a lot - millions of times per second.

Well I feel motivated to help you. Sounds like you are just trying to be a billy big balls.

I want to hire somebody who can do the job (as intended by me, not workaround that makes no sense from performance point of view, plus complicate maintenance).

Maybe you need to hire some people at your place that know what they are doing from a technical perspective.

This project is ideal for a contractor.

I guess skills shortages are real and I’ll have to get somebody offshore, oh well.
