Ask HN: Choosing a developer on Rent-a-coder?
I'm dipping my toe into the water of outsourcing some code. I'd appreciate any tips, suggestions and recommendations on how to navigate the various rent-a-coder sites.
- brk 16y agoFrom experience: Be extremely articulate on what you want regarding features, implementation language, how/where the core should run and so forth. Don't accept offers to work outside of the RAC structure until you have a good working relationship with a particular developer. Communicate frequently, at least every other day on progress and updates. Test EVERYTHING. If at all possible, have some comparison site in mind. It's easier for someone to code something like Y, vs. creating an entirely new concept from scratch.
