Hiring a Developer

That’s a really great request and I really appreciate that you went looking at freelancers sites before asking here.

I’d love to offer my help, but my skills are strictly restricted to Velbus hardware.
Anything else I do with openHAB2 comes from hours of research and even more hours of frustrating trial and error.

Your request certainly highlights the need for a ‘human skills’ service.

Is this something that could be part of the Bounty scheme?

Maybe some of us should sign up to a Freelance site or two and offer our technical services. :thinking:
Sometimes we are all guilty of forgetting how hard it was to learn our skills.

Even if we can only offer a few hours a week / month, that might be enough to get people over hurdles and maybe even smooth the path of love in a household where technology has become a drain on emotional energy.

And let’s face it, who wouldn’t like a few more $€£¢ in their pockets.

Just this last weekend my wife and I were treated to a lovely meal with friends, just because I had managed to find a spare hour to pop over and fix those annoying DIY jobs that our friends didn’t feel skilled enough to tackle.

So go on, as the phrase goes…

“Help a brother / sister out”
