I'm curious to know the rates from you guys here for hiring Nim developers full time.
I've built software on my own with Nim, one netting me a little over $10k since December. What was originally a venture to build my own tools to help with my consulting work turned into something I hadn't really imagined before. I've now made the decision to transition into building an SEO Software company and have 3 game changing projects in the pipeline. As of now, I've been scaling up my consulting work to hire an employee so I'm able to focus on the software- but I know deep down I won't be able to give the attention the company needs to grow if I'm doing the programming as well.
That being said, I love Nim. I love this community. I'd love to hire at least 1 or 2 of you guys over the next few months, but I need to wrap my head around what this is going to cost me so I know how much more I need to scale up my consulting work.
Please let me know of some hourly rates from those of you that actively take on projects :)
I'll be returning to this thread to start pinging you guys for interviews over the month or so
Congrats on starting up a company! Becoming an Entrepreneur can be quite and adventure; and as a bonus you will learn, the hard way sometimes, how to eat stress for breakfast.
As to going rates for a Nim developer, I don't think there are enough to give that an industry value. I'd put it into the same category as a C or C++ developer; and that should be fairly close.
I think it very much depends on the kind of work you need done.
Nim suits many domains, some harder than the others. A web developer is probably going to cost less than a low level cryptography library developer.
To learn the rates, I’d check those specific domains rather than languages. At the end of the day, the technology behind the product isn’t that important. It’s just that Nim lets you get things done faster and with more pleasure.
Thanks for the feedback and excuse my delay (I'm f*****g swamped). You've opened my eyes a bit more to the process and possibilities.
To be honest, much of what the software I'm trying to develop involves some web crawling and number crunching- things Python and other common languages can handle.
I want Nim as the technology largely because I want to support the language and our community. The other reason as to why is Nim developers love what they do. Really. You guys could be sticking with the popular languages and follow the crowd but no, you're slinging code in a language just a tiny percentage of developers even know about.
I'll be revisiting the thread as soon as I'm ready for the next step I'd love to interview you.
I'm interested in doing Nim consulting. We can negotiate the rate, you can contact me at jason.filby@gmail.com.
I'm actually planning on releasing an Open Source Nim web/DB framework soon, plus a Flutter front-end framework, with the two able to work together.
I think that i want too, my contact DementiShcherbakov8800@gmail.com
