Hire Me (Taylor) via API
Taylor is offering a programmatic hiring interface where developers can send a POST request to his API to hire him. He describes a structured JSON request format with fields for project details, budget, timeline, and contact information, with a 24-hour response SLA.
Background
Taylor Town is an independent software developer known for unconventional programming tools and developer-experiment websites. This page describes a side project: a publicly accessible API endpoint (`POST /hire-me`) that, when called, sends Taylor a notification expressing interest in hiring them for contract or full-time work. It is a tongue-in-cheek, automated "resume" or "hire me" page — instead of filling out a contact form, the visitor uses a curl command or HTTP client to trigger an email or message to Taylor. The joke is that the entire hiring process is reduced to a single API call, and the page lists the technical details (endpoint, authentication, rate limits) as if Taylor were a cloud service. It matters because it reflects a broader culture among indie developers of treating one's career and availability as a programmable system, and it satirizes the over-engineered, API-fied approach to human interactions in tech.
