Wanted - Frontend Engineer | Hourly contract | Remote
This is evaluation work, not authoring. The defining skill is not that you can build a page — it's that you can open someone else's page and tell how it was built and where it cheats.
About the work
We're building a high-quality dataset of human preference judgments on AI-generated frontend code. Each task hands you a reference web page — crawled from the real internet, delivered as a full zipped site tree plus screenshots of its default view and, on some pages, additional states reached by hovering, clicking, or scrolling. Alongside it come two model attempts, A and B, each a zipped self-contained site tree. The models only ever saw the screenshots; they never had the source.
You download all three, run them locally, view each at a 1920×1080 viewport, interact with them to reach every required state, then open the source of both attempts and grade them against each other — on visual fidelity per state, and on how the code is actually constructed. Structure and responsiveness are explicitly part of the rubric, not just the render.
This is evaluation work, not authoring. The defining skill is not that you can build a page — it's that you can open someone else's page and tell how it was built and where it cheats.
Please read before applying
- Each unit takes roughly 2–3 hours and is timed. This is not microtask work; if you can only offer scattered 15-minute windows, you will not be able to finish a unit.
- You need a real local development environment. A tablet, a Chromebook, or a locked-down work machine that cannot run a local static server will not work for this project.

Here is something Lawyers may not openly talk about: We are encouraged to go to court but to enforce court orders, it is back to nepotism and bribery
Nearly a decade ago, I was a young(er) and naïve NRI who returned back to India for aging parents. One of the unfinished businesses was my dad’s land records. He had purchased the land but the local revenue department had blocked the mutation of records.
I didn’t want to entertain touts or middlemen, so I submitted an appeal and met local officials. They cited some cock-and-bull excuse to refuse so I decided to take the legal path.
I went to the High Court that gave an order in my favour but the officials refused to act. I went back and even filed a Contempt of Court and they found a loophole (AC has to approve) and kicked the can forward. This has been going on for a number of years (TLDR; chronicle of my legal fight).
In the latest instance, the state’s Advocate General himself appeared during hearing and assured the court… but guess what? No action!!!
The same story plays out almost everywhere we look:
- The ‘process’ of Passport Verifications and at RTO offices are well oiled, with unofficial rate cards
- If you have ever tried releasing an impounded vehicle from a police station even with a lawyer? Wink-wink
- Registration, transfer, sale or mutation of land in almost every revenue/registrar office in the country … wink-wink
- Families falsely accused of Section 498A get a court order; yet end up paying bribes to the local cops to clear their names
- The list goes on
TLDR; go to court and fight it out, but be willing to pay bribes to enforce the order!

Does the role of a lawyer end after the plaintiff receives a favourable order? Does the plaintiff have a recourse if the other party (e.g Government official) refuses to act on a High Court CCC order?
I am a frustrated litigant, unwilling to "pay up" to get my work done. Hence I went to HC.
The Hon'ble Karnataka HC passed an order after a hearing on the Contempt of Court against the AC, Bengaluru North & Bengaluru DC (HC CCC 1058/2025). The Karnataka Attorney General himself appeared for the hearing and assured the judges that the khata (revenue record) would be updated after I produced an affidavit.
It has been over 3 months since that order in CCC was passed and the documents submitted to Yelahenka Tahisildar and AC Bengaluru-North. Details in this X post

reddit.comWhat do we pay the broker if they don't even know the basics of the property?
I saw a property in my neighbourhood listed 'for sale' and called the broker. Turns out he was in another area and was not even aware that the property listed for sale had been foreclosed by a bank a few months ago.
I had seen the sealed locks and bank notice and assumed the 'for sale' was posted by the bank. Turns out the owner was trying to sell the property.
Made me scratch my head - what are we paying the brokers for then?
