Re: Ask HN: What is the best place to hire part time devs?
#32It’s tough. Finding people who are good, fast, and cheap is difficult in the best of circumstances. When I was broke, I decided to beg developers who liked me & offered to pay them something (say 40/USD per hour in 2010). The catch was I had to wait until they had time, so it took maybe 12 months to get a 1 or 2 months of work done. But it got done & that got my business off the ground.
the upshot of that story is that if you don't need it done fast, it's possible to get something going even with a low monthly budget.

#33Part-time can be a great fit for developers who use their own stack and stick to a consistent architecture across multiple projects. For instance, I personally begin each of my projects with the same template ( https://github.com/kriasoft/react-starter-kit 23k). This approach reduces overhead when juggling multiple tasks, allowing me to seamlessly make changes in one place and effortlessly push and merge updates into…
the hard part is finding part time work where you get to use your own stack.

#35Plugging a service I helped create: match.dev Typical rates are $40-$60/h and many work part time. We vet everyone by paying them to create a small project for us.
Any plans for devops jobs?

#36Many freelance sites like Upwork, and Freelancer helps to do so, but the problem of finding a reliable developer with capability of building good architecture, timeline, fast and cheap is difficult. You can also try Toptal While it's generally known for providing top-tier talent, it also offers options for part-time and hourly engagements. You might find skilled developers who are willing to work on smaller tasks as they have availability. Also reach out to your network and ask for recommendations.
I'd also be delighted to offer my services. With background in Python, Django, Node.js, React, Redis, Kafka, and more, I believe I can be a helpful to build your project. Reach out to me github.com/devraj4522.

#37HN’s whoishiring freelancer thread could be an option. Many comments there mention part time work. You could add a comment with the “SEEKING FREELANCER” tag. The thread is monthly; most recent one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36573870
Thanks, I'll share there!

#38First create a few tasks (suggest 3-5), describe them as much as possible, then identify what skills would it take to do these tasks, then reach out to you network with request, for example, “I have a task to build user registration API, do you know anyone with Django/Python experience who might be interest in taking this on.”
IME, having been on both sides of similar situations, such “specific” approach works much better than “part time, inexpensive help” to take on tasks whenever I need. One shows you are proactive, prepared and in need, other shows you are just exploring, fishing to see if you find a resource, and don’t want to spend any time identifying needs until you have a resource committed already.
