Could you share pointers for part time remote work? (Especially for software)

This is not exactly about a part time job, but I'd recommend to read whatever patio11 wrote about consulting like https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/09/17/ramit-sethi-and-patrick... (HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4533498 ) or https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/09/21/ramit-sethi-and-patrick... (HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4554669 ). Also, there is a monthly freelance thread here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23379195
Freelance contracting is probably the easiest way to work part time. There is some stuff that is only x number of hours a week. This seems to mostly be sysadmin work or basic web design. The other option is to do something like 3-6 months on, then however long you want off, etc. Probably easiest for web and mobile developers.
