Ask HN: Where can I find a dev concierge?

2 点作者 mikkel125超过 3 年前
I&#x27;m a dev myself, and also someone with a lot of ideas (mainly SaaS, online businesses etc). In the past couple of years I&#x27;ve built most of these ideas (or at least some kind of MVP) myself, and had fun doing so. However, as I get older, I don&#x27;t want to code that much anymore.<p>I&#x27;m looking for a long-term companion to code stuff for me. I just got an idea for a new search engine? I&#x27;ll ask them to hack a crawler for it. I want to extract some data from a dataset and build some visualization? Call them to write the SQL queries and make a graph.<p>I guess a freelancer is the closest to what I&#x27;m looking for. However, whereas freelancers are generally mission-based, I&#x27;d want someone 1&#x2F; for the longer term to reduce search effort per mission, and 2&#x2F; ideally with the following traits: - an early-stage startup CTO mindset, - jack of all trades, - expert writing dirty&#x2F;hacky code, - has fun doing hackathons or weekend side projects.<p>A &quot;dev concierge&quot; is the closest analogy I can think of.<p>Some more practical details that may help: Billed by the hour, remote, market rate. Each &quot;mission&quot; takes maybe 20-40 hours to complete, and I have 1-2 of those ideas per month, constantly.

How is this not just a freelancer who you rehire periodically? Most are happy with repeat business.

&gt; - an early-stage startup CTO mindset, - jack of all trades, - expert writing dirty&#x2F;hacky code,<p>This is exactly the sort of person early-stage startups are looking to hire. And a lot of therm are going to be offering a full time job, possibly below full market rate - but topped up with equity dream-bucks.<p>30-60 hours at market rate per month seems quite unlikely top turn into &quot;a long-term companion&quot; given the other opportunities anyone skilled at all the things you&#x27;re going to want will have open to them.

The prospective part time engineer you’re describing sounds to me more like what we call a Rock Star who probably has no trouble finding a full time six figure salary with equity and benefits. Not sure why they’d throw in with you vs just finding a real salary or I-9 gig, unless you are very competitive on total comp, or they are already financially secure.<p>I think you’re just looking for a VP engineering.

If you want them for half-time, and freelancers typically increase their rates to cover down times, sales time, benefits, etc... would you not do just as well to form a company, hire them, and give them a salary?
