DEV Community: Rauno Metsa

Hey freelancers

I'm running this small community site for remote workers and I've been thinking about how to connect freelancers with clients.

As I'm now looking for a freelancer to help me with turning designs into responsive html/css, I thought what a great way to start connecting freelancers through this.

So I wrote a quick blog post about what I built yesterday. It's not just posting freelance jobs, rather it's creating projects and inviting freelancers to join.

I also shared a couple of more ideas where to take this next in the blog ("freelancer friends", "share with my network").

Would be fun to hear your thoughts!

You can read it on my blog: https://remotehub.io/blog/freelancers

I asked remote companies to share their engineering culture.

I made a Trello-like board for remote jobs

Engineering Culture in a Remote Team

What would you like to know about remote company's engineering culture before considering to join them?

I currently have 1,700+ remote companies listed on my site RemoteHub – you can search for remote teams based on their size, tech stack, benefits and more. Teams have also listed 1,200+ remote cities they work from.

I'm now starting to find out more about their development culture – my plan is to list some engineering topics and ask them to choose what fits with a quick description:

So far I've came up with the following list:

👋 Daily standups
🤝 Pair programming
⚡️ Agile software development
🚚 Continuous delivery
🔓 Open source contributor
👶 Good for junior devs

I could then add these to my filters on the remote companies page and combining them with the existing options you could run searches something like "small remote companies with company retreats and daily standups hiring now".
