Ask HN: How common is part-time development work?
How common is hiring/contracting developers with fewer than 30 hours/week work loads? Does it even make sense for who is hiring?
You have problems if you hire people who are not professional freelancers, or those who can't manage their time. I once broke that rule and hired someone with a full time job. They were pressured into OT at work, quality on my stuff dropped like a rock, and he was grateful to be fired. So unless you're a full time freelancer, I won't hire you. Others might, though!
