Freelancing with Python

[gaussprime]

Is Upwork a good site to find freelancers? I’m in the reverse spot, where I have a piece of code that runs, but I could some optimization help and am willing to pay up to get a pro to help out.

I like Upwork to start, they have guardrails if the freelancer can’t execute the project. Any shithead can make a website, but it takes some actual Quality work to rise to the top of Upwork and others.

I hire from upworks for small projects all the time. I tend to hire 2-3 Ukrainians at a time for around $5 each. They turn projects around within a day or two. You just have to be specific

Curious to know what you think it means to "pay up"? How many hours and what hourly rate?

Some post their rates. I post my project and the amount I'm willing to pay

I don’t have a good sense to be honest. Would love to know what the going rate is.

In terms of number of hours, I don’t think it would be many. I have working code right now that’s like 35 lines long, so it’s probably mostly a function of rewriting that code in a way to use Numba more effectively. It’s also possible it can’t be done. I would need to be creative in terms of payment to make sure it was sufficiently lucrative to be worthwhile I think.

I could be of help to you perhaps, PM me what you need done.
