What Hacker News says

4 sources
I learned web development while volunteering at a charity, where I did a lot of work on open source software. I worked on some Rails apps called FatFreeCRM [1] and Errbit [2]. I got my first contract with a YC startup that was providing hosting for open source apps, including FatFreeCRM (unfortunately they shut down.) My open source contributions were also included in my O1 visa application, so that I could come to the US and work for a startup.

In Ask HN: Self-taught developers, what repo helped land your first job?

Ask HN: Do any YC companies use Errbit or Fat Free CRM?

Hi there, If you founded or work for a YC startup, I would love to know if your startup uses Errbit [1] or Fat Free CRM [2]. (Open-source Ruby on Rails applications.) If so, I would really appreciate it if you could leave a comment with the name of your startup, and the apps that you use. Thanks! Full disclosure: I'm applying for an O-1 visa so that I can move to SF and work for a YC startup. I've contributed a lot of code to these apps, but need some statistics for a recommendation letter. An H-1B visa would definitely be easier, but unfortunately, I don't have a degree or the required experience. [1] https://github.com/errbit/errbit [2] https://github.com/fatfreecrm/fat_free_crm
