与我合作的自由职业者的准则

I’ve been hiring software developers and other freelancers for the past seven years. Even though I write most code myself, hiring other developers is a tremendous force multiplier that frees up time for other parts of my business.

在过去的七年里，我一直在雇用软件开发人员和其他自由职业者。尽管我自己写了大部分代码，但雇用其他开发人员是一个巨大的力量倍增器，为我的业务的其他部分腾出了时间。

Freelancers work well if you manage the relationship properly, but there are hundreds of ways it can go wrong. The best way to start things off is by reaching a shared understanding of your freelancer-client relationship.

如果你能适当地管理这种关系，自由职业者工作得很好，但也有数百种方式可以出错。开始事情的最好方法是对你的自由职业者-客户关系达成共同的理解。

The document below explains what it’s like to work with me as a freelance developer. I include it in every dev job listing I publish, and I pay contractors to read it closely after we begin working together. It attracts candidates with compatible working styles and reduces ramp-up time after I hire them.

下面的文件解释了作为自由开发者与我一起工作是什么样子。我把它包括在我发布的每个开发工作清单中，并且在我们开始合作后，我付给承包商仔细阅读它。它吸引了工作风格兼容的候选人，减少了我雇用他们后的启动时间。
