HackHands Blog

What HN saysHN commenters mention HackHands as one of several services, alongside Codementor and AirPair, for finding or offering paid developer help, though some doubt it is still active.

Joel Spolsky gave a great talk a few years ago about the design of StackOverflow. Three groups of people are involved in every question on the site: the asker, the people who answer and the people who read the answer later. Which group do you think the site is optimised for?
The answer is the third group. The average SO question gets read 30 times per day. Any value captured by either of the other groups is massively dominated by the value captured by people who google the question and land on SO. Complaining about the site being harsh to question askers fundamentally misunderstands the value SO provides to the community.
I'm all for websites which help beginners learn programming, but if you need 1-on-1 help to figure out why your loop is invalid, SO is the wrong site. https://hackhands.com might be a better destination.
(I can't find the video on my phone - if somebody could link it below that would be great. )

When I do freelance (which is never these days), Codementor (affiliate link): https://www.codementor.io/i/3tiesmnbt9
HackHands is pretty fun too (https://hackhands.com) but very short term stuff and very low volume. If you have spare time it's nice though.

You can try HackHands [0]. I got $20 credit with them through the GitHub Student Pack and only ever used it once. It seems like it might be the service you're looking for!

I'd encourage you to look for a local chapter of https://girlswhocode.com/, see if there are after school programming clubs in your city (or start one), or sign up with https://hackhands.com/ and get paid to mentor.

Atypical profil (from LAMP dev to police officer / now willing to take a u-turn in my career as a full stack developer!). 'Expert' on https://hackhands.com. I am fond of learning everything related to the web and using bleeding-edge technologies.

I think hackhands is what you are describing: https://hackhands.com/how-it-works/

You can use the "Satellizer" library [0] for angular that uses JWT and can integrate with node etc. See one blog post that uses satellizer and node:

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE
I'm an experienced developer, working as a freelancer for 1,5 years. Developing stuff since I was 15. My main stack for last 4 years is Ruby on Rails as full-stack. I have developed and managed from medium to big sized projects. I have entrepreneurial mindset; started, failed and learnt a lot from numerous projects. Experienced with building MVPs in short period.
I'm an active open-source contributor and free software volunteer. I give Ruby on Rails classes as volunteered for more than 150 hours/every year. I'm also an instructor on Codementor and HackHands platforms.

I'm interested in exciting projects, building MVPs rather than bugfixes.
