I'm looking to build a portfolio of projects, and I'm willing to work for really cheap to do it. Unfortunately, the HN freelancer thread doesn't really seem to have many people looking for freelancers, and Elance/Freelancer.com have way too many low bidders from developing nations so I haven't had much success there either.<p>Skills: Ruby/Rails, Java (&J2EE), C, C++, some PHP & Python<p>Contact me if interested at username at gmail. Thanks!
You could try <a href="https://www.whitetruffle.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.whitetruffle.com</a>. It's meant to be geared towards tech talent - I don't know how much luck there is with this since I'm a designer, dammit, not a developer! But it's got a number of hot looking start-ups on there.
- How cheap/low are you willing to go? I still think you should try Elance/ODesk. If those don't work, try<p>a. Freelancer.com
b. Guru.com
c. PeoplePerHour.com
