Found a guy halfway across the world, but we did Skype screen-sharing so we could talk and I could watch his screen.
Didn't cost much. The key was how I asked. I just made it a criteria of the job when I posted/announced it. "Looking for someone to program while I watch and ask questions."
I know he really enjoyed it. Said it was much more rewarding than the usual coding in solitude, not knowing if the client is really appreciating the effort.
- tnorthcutt 15y agoThat's great to hear! I was hoping your answer would be something like this (easy for me to replicate). Did you use a large freelance-finding site (oDesk, elance, etc.)? If some other method, do you mind sharing?
- sivers 15y agoIn this last case, I just asked on my Twitter account. But for future, I'd try odesk, elance, and also asking around my network of programmers I already know.
