Ugo Loobuyck, a Python backend engineer in France, replaced the job application with an auction: people bid to take first place, and the winner gets to hire him. The price ladder rises with every sale, $50, then $150, then $400. Registered and launched on 27 August 2026; $200 verified through Stripe within the first 24 hours. The page is a client-side app with no server-rendered counter.

The facts Exclusive rights
A right that only one buyer can hold at a time: a person’s name, the naming of something for a day, a whole life on eBay.

How the mechanism works, and why it works here 7 of 7 blocks · the schema
Every project is taken apart with the same seven questions, each borrowed from a standard analysis tool, so you can compare this one with any other on the board. The funnel numbers come from the daily snapshots, not from the creator.

Why it works here
Editorial verdictA job application as an auction. The rising ladder makes the first bidders cheap and the last one pay for the story.
