SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote / NY

I'm looking for an experienced Sencha developer to code on a Sencha Touch project with me. The project will start very shortly and run for about 4-6 months. If you have a reasonable amount of time to commit and you are interested in a Sencha contract, please contact me at bglenn09[at]gmail.com. Thanks!

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I'm based in NY (though you can be anywhere) and am looking for a freelancer to code with me on an enterprise HTML5 mobile application project. I'm looking for someone with good experience building single page apps with frameworks like Sencha Touch and Backbone.js. It would also be great if you were a Rails developer (though this is not a necessity) as the backend will be built as a Rails API server. The project will run for 3+ months and part-time would be workable. If this could work for you please contact me at barry[at]barrypeerless[dot]com. I look forward to connecting. Thanks!

When you say fixed fee, am I correct to assume that the number of hours is capped on that? Do your maintenance agreements cover additional features?

I will follow your lead and downgrade to 30 days. Thank you.

This is a great piece. The link didn't work for me, did you write this or find it somewhere?

As you pointed out, (of-course?) celebrity is an enormous edge in building start-up traction in a social product offering, just as it is in most if not all other domains that require building external support to achieve a goal. An edge is just an edge though; it neither guarantees success for celebrities nor failures for non-celebrities. As someone that's struggled for a long time with how to seed a social network this seems pretty obvious to me and I agree it's a solution to the chicken-and-egg problem of kicking off a social site that you and I can't really compete with. We would have to win on product in a space where celebrity-type reach is not a requirement to creating value for the initial user base (i.e., a smaller chicken-and-egg problem vs. a larger one).

I'm an experienced developer that is new to Rails and am looking for freelance work. I'm a self-starter but would like to do some work where I can benefit from working with someone (or a team) that has solid experience. I can work under-market for awhile. Please contact me if you're looking for support on your projects. bglenn09 at gmail dot com.

I agree with the comment about domain knowledge trumping technical knowledge here. It will only help for you to learn how to code, but you definitely do not need to do so. If you have your own capital or sources of funding, it would seem to me to be counterproductive to spend a lot of time becoming proficient in a craft when you could work with a partner on it. Your instinct to find a developer you can work with seems to me to be the correct direction to go in, while you spend some time familiarizing yourself with the development world.

This is great info. Do you have any references for metrics like these or are they anecdotal based on your experience?

I tried a similar setup remoting into a virtual windows machine for awhile and ultimately abandoned it because of latency. I didn't fully realize what a difference a small amount of latency could make until I went back and it'd take a lot for me to try it again. So my recommendation is to make sure it's very comparable in terms of performance because the development time you can lose from latency will dwarf keeping machines in sync and may even go unnoticed for awhile.
