I'd actually like to see a service where you can hire a single person to answer all your questions. We have guitar and violin lessons where you go and practice then come back with questions - why not the same for programming languages? I'd gladly pay some one on a ad-hoc basis instead of filtering out all the noise on IRC/Discord.
- hnthrowaway0315 4y agoI think you can hire training. It's available everywhere and some have reasonable prices. If you have specific programming language questions you can probably consult Stackoverflow or Reddit which are free.
- brianhorakh 4y agoIts usually less work to find the answer yourself than it is to try and find+hire someone for an hour. The person who spends time selling themselves is not working/learning during that time. Their billable rate would be astronomical. The curse of narrow specialization.

I used it once since I was having trouble creating a partition table for a >2TB drive back when GPT partition tables were in their infancy. Needless to say I didn't get a satisfactory answer. But for $25 it wasn't a big deal.
- cercatrova 4y agoI do this, via Upwork contracts. It's very helpful.
