Have you payed for coding help?

[Encaladus]

I'm curious to know if people use services such as Codementor and Hackhands. If yes, why and how often? If no, why not?

[nickjj]

No, definitely not from sites like that.

But I don't mind paying friends and acquaintances for help. All of us have a pretty sweet deal where we help each other out for free for our own stuff, but we charge each other for help on paid gigs.

Okay cool.

I have not, I would be open to it thou. We have hired contractors that sometimes help us on code issues on an on-going basis thou from Upwork.

How often have you done that?

[onion2k]

No. I've never needed any help from outside of my network.

[Encaladus]

Define Network. Does that include online communities etc? :)

[eurticket]

No, I usually will find a hacked up solution or give up.

[Encaladus]

Okay. Why not pay for help?
