- morlokman 12y agoThis makes sense, thanks for the link. That refocuses the question. How do I find a lead developer?
- dylanhassinger 12y ago- ask people in your network for recommendations - go to local tech meetups and make friends - use a site like Odesk to search for your guru. here's a post I wrote on this: http://dylanized.com/some-ninja-tips-for-outsourcing-web-development-on-odesk-or-elance/ http://dylanized.com/some-ninja-tips-for-outsourcing-web-dev... Also it can really help to find the smartest people you know and take them out to lunch/hire them for an hour just to give advice. They can recommend people, vet possible candidates, and help develop your technical strategy - even though they can't or won't take the full time job themselves. hope this helps!
