A simple tool that generates formal employment contracts for your own projects, making personal commitments feel real

You've been waiting for someone to give you permission to start that project. To finally write that book. To launch that SaaS. To build that app. The person who needs to give you permission is sitting in your chair right now.

The Problem With Side Projects

We all have those ideas that live in our heads. The novel we'll write someday. The app we'll build when we have more time. The business we'll start when we're more qualified.

Here's the truth: the qualifications you're waiting for don't exist. The perfect moment won't arrive. Someone isn't coming to tap you on the shoulder and say "Now you're ready."

What if you treated your own projects with the same seriousness you'd give a job from a real company? What if you signed a contract with yourself?

How It Works

hired.wtf is a free tool that generates formal employment contracts for your personal projects. You enter your job title—"Chief Novel Completion Officer," "Chief of Vibe Coding," "Architect of Anti-Fascist Systems"—and answer six questions about your role, compensation (you decide), and terms.

The tool creates a professional-looking contract you can sign, print, and share. No account required. No watermark. No catch.

Why This Matters

There's something psychological about putting pen to paper. About having a document that says "This is real. This matters. I'm committed."

When you sign a contract with yourself:

  • You create accountability
  • You establish clear milestones
  • You make the consequences real
  • You signal to yourself that this is worth your time

The Termination Letter

And because hired.wtf understands human nature, they built something else: a termination letter. For when you quit on yourself.

It's not fun. That's the point. Reading "After 45 days in the role of Chief Novel Completion Officer, the Employee has been formally terminated for failure to meet agreed-upon milestones" hits different than just letting another project die quietly.

Recent Hires Show The Range

People are using this for all kinds of projects:

  • Software Engineer at "You, Inc." - Create software
  • Architect of Anti-Fascist Systems - Audit and harden 15 democratic tech platforms
  • Junior Tester - Deliver a 20-page test report with 50 bugs found
  • Chief of Vibe Coding - Create a SaaS and reach $10k in monthly revenue

The Cost of Not Starting

Every day you wait is a day your idea stays in your head instead of existing in the world. Every "someday" is a promise you're breaking to your future self.

You don't need more qualifications. You don't need more time. You need to decide that what you want to build matters enough to commit to it.

Your Next Step

Go to hired.wtf. Enter your job title. Answer six questions. Get a contract. Sign it. Tell someone.

Then do the work.

The role you were born to play is the one you create for yourself. The company that will hire you is the one you start. The location where you'll do your best work is wherever you are right now.
