Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (October 2012)

Would love feedback? Ok, here it goes.

In my humble opinion your web site is really good - blog, colors, layout, testimonials, overall very coherent experience. Don't think you shall spend any more time here.

However, I would recommend that you gradually expand your stack - both languages and tools. Based on your completed projects and required expertise, I think that you are capable of more.

SEEKING WORK in Hamburg, Germany or remotely.

Full stack web dev with and a bit a sysadmin with focus on Ruby on Rails and Linux. Also a knack for SEO and agile team organization. I try to be able to know a little about every technical area a typical web start-up needs to cover (JavaScript, HTML, CSS, high availability, scalability, getting things done quickly, organizing remote teams, Scrum, ...), and go deep in server side development.

I am also always interested in working for funded startups because I love the atmosphere. CTO/co-founding not out of the question but we would need to work together on a consulting basis for a few months first.

My website is in German, but my english is 8 out of 9 (IELTS) and I've lived in North America for a few years.

Have you ever paid a consultancy or freelancer for a product and while what you got back technically worked it turned out to be made entirely of duct tape and band-aids? Me too. That's why I'm here. It makes me mad to see people pay good money for bad work.

I'm here to handle the projects that you need to get done, but don't quite have the time for. I'm all about the agile, and you will get a daily status report and code check-in that will fit right into your standup. No more wondering what's been done and what remains.

I'm a big believer in TDD and will provide you with full tests along with the solution, so when it comes time for you to modify it yourself you won't have to wonder if your change is going to break something.

I specialize in .NET, specifically MVC and web services (WebAPI, WCF). I was doing Single Page Applications before they were cool (and before anyone knew about Knockout.js).

I'm also familiar with Ruby, MySQL and Mongo if you lean that way.

Seeking Work - Remote

I am mainly a web developer in PHP/Python and a bit noobie in Rails. Can also make iOS apps.

To me, dependability and reliability are the absolute lowest bar of criteria. Meaning -- of course I expect you to actually do some work if I pay you. The fact that you seem to have trouble getting that and you also want rates to be low are correlated. You are getting non-serious, probably side-job or unskilled freelancers.

If you can't afford freelancers who just minimally meet the lowest bar, raise your prices.

Also, you picked the absolute worst place for an ad like this.
