Re:You, the freelance programmer, would you pay someone else... by CyberFonic on Tuesday November 18, 2014 @03:57AM (#8623025)
Finding "smart" programmers is very hard. As @lastofus points out communication and management effort eats into the potential gains.

If you are really serious about leverage then look at MBSE/MDD/MDE/DSL technologies. That is, tools that will take formal specifications and generate code. The old 80:20 rule applies here too, as much as 80% of the code can be generated automatically, the rest by either yourself or the very well paid sufficiently smart programmer(s).

Thank you for your thoughts. In fact, I am more interested into the how can i make this process efficient in the real world, as a scallable service, without competing with the other freelancing sites that offers full projects development. I am more connected to a programmer to programmer service perspective (getCode.org)
