- readonthegoapp 5y agoactually, your comment made me think actually, i'd prob try to take well-defined to a new level - maybe looking for other examples and see how they gained traction, etc. if you don't have a big marketing budget, it might be a grind, but i think it could legit work, if only because i would have gladly paid for programming or other tech help -- and have -- at various points in my career. a few times it's been really hairy situations with open-source stuff, but i have even paid for a _suggested_ fix -- just like going to the doctor. :-D so, maybe instead of, "hire a programming expert for 1 hour", it might be "hire a python expert for one hour", then slowly expand outwards. basically, a StackOverflow, but paid in real dollars instead of 'just' karma.
- sizediterable 5y agoPreferably you'd preserve the best aspect of StackOverflow; others being able to learn from others questions. I don't know what the best way to achieve that would be. Recording the sessions and making them public would probably be uncomfortable on both sides. Perhaps incentivize the expert to do a short write-up on the problem and solution in some way.
- techsin101 5y agoyea that makes sense. This way it'd be less stress for both sides. If I'm really good at CSS, I'd want to be hired for THAT. Not just as frontend dev and asked to debug some typescript error, sure I could do that in time, but not in an hour, unlikely. Too stressful. But If someone else was passionate about Typescript they could sign up as TS expert.
