Found a guy halfway across the world, but we did Skype screen-sharing so we could talk and I could watch his screen.

Didn't cost much. The key was how I asked. I just made it a criteria of the job when I posted/announced it. "Looking for someone to program while I watch and ask questions."

I know he really enjoyed it. Said it was much more rewarding than the usual coding in solitude, not knowing if the client is really appreciating the effort.




That's great to hear! I was hoping your answer would be something like this (easy for me to replicate).

Did you use a large freelance-finding site (oDesk, elance, etc.)? If some other method, do you mind sharing?


In this last case, I just asked on my Twitter account.

But for future, I'd try odesk, elance, and also asking around my network of programmers I already know.
