Ask HN: What is the best way to find freelance devs?
I'm in need of a freelance iOS dev (or two) in the Southern California area. Anywhere on the West Coast could work as well. W
hat is a good way of finding great freelance devs?
9/10 devs I speak to say they can do everything and can't do crap. Just nonsense.
Have tried traditional channels of ODesk, ELance but nothing but crap on there as well.
Meetups - no go here in SoCal, everyone has an "idea" and is coming from a restaurant waiter background. The scene is pathetic.
- jtnadams 13y agoMake sure to ask for code samples before hiring
- rubiquity 13y agoCome to San Diego. Our meetups are great from the several different ones I've been to. I haven't encountered anyone like you described.

- crgt 13y agoDo you really need a local dev? Expand your search radius and you have access to an expanded talent pool.
