Ask HN: Remote developers/Freelancers for side projects?

[maged]

Does anyone have experience working with freelancers or remote developers for side projects/businesses? Any tips or best practices? I'm thinking my time/money might be better used if I focus on parts of the project I find most interesting, and out source the CRUD aspects.

Having worked with remote developers and freelancers both in employment and on side projects. Most important thing is making sure your requirements are clear, this will take time and might take a fair bit of trial and error. Just remember the requirements are crystal clear in your head but might not be obvious or straight forward to someone else.
