PWYWG
Pay What You Want Gig
"wee wig", similar to WYSIWYG, the p is silent
See also: support session tips.One where you pay whatever if anything you hold or find the job to be worth.
Size (and other stuff) Matters
PWYWGs are appropriate for tasks rather than jobs, from a few hours to a few days a month.
Positive personal interaction has value. I will let you know if my interest in doing it alone suffices once I confirm the nature of the task. You may still wish to select an entitlement level in this case.
Make final judgment of what you want to pay upon live interaction but ballpark it beforehand. A subsequent job is generally not desired from this channel.Key Points
- Entitlement here matters ¹ but this is not a support or consult channel for domain space elements and the domains Terms of Service (ToS) is the only contract.
- In some cases, I may suggest you get class Y or F, or DevOps, and in exceptional ones, pitch.ai-integration.biz has an RFP template I use and the rate chart has my current rate tiers for interpolation for an actual job.
- Confidentiality is assured per my privacy policy and end-end encryption ². If you wish, support sessions can be recorded, infra supporting that will be in your profile which you can use beyond the PWYWG, service entitlements expire but most relevant functions in context of this page are free.
¹ S Class or higher: ip-identified, social networked, or lapsed AKPERSONs — below that.² E2EE must be enabled in your DS user profile.Work History
Praxis, future focused, is about my whole IT work life but this landing is more apropos this page. PWYWGs are not jobs but they are part of my work life. In the past I prepared a lot of web matter selling my ability to do jobs, which I no longer do period, let alone for a PWYWG. Also, this web space, core domain space, is in fact conceived, developed, and operated by me alone³.
³ Core Domain Space, as distinct from the underlying operating systems, languages, packages, etc. and ofc other DS operators owned domain spaces, if and when..
Infra & Accounting
In practice, a PWYWG might be executed without use of my automation to support same as was the case for the first one. May require registration, credit as donated labor time for tax purposes on my books even if you pay nothing.
To Proceed
In your domains account use the doorbell (available in real time if button is light blue) or email juan@acm.org .
¹ If not done for the interest I may have in the task, I generally will have two prices in mind for the work, one for retainer and one in the case where I will accept payment upon completion. Net billing is inappropriate for this channel. If you are an AKPERSON with an entitlement level that counts. .
