How to find reliable, cost-effective developers

You Had an Idea. You Hired a Dev. Then Everything Fell Apart.

Let’s face it: finding a good developer is way harder than it should be.

They talk a good game…
But what you actually get?

• Slow delivery

• Buggy code

• Outdated, clunky design

• A mess that’s hard to use

And then they ghost you.

Suddenly, you’re left with half-finished code, blown budgets, and a launch date that keeps slipping.

The Truth: Cheap Developers Can Be the Most Expensive

What starts as a “$15/hour deal” quickly turns into:

• Wasted weeks

• Redoing work

• Hiring a second dev to fix the first one

• Missed market opportunities

This is why so many first-time SaaS founders quit halfway.

How to Spot a Real Developer (Before It’s Too Late)

Most founders waste 40+ hours interviewing devs… and still get burned.

So here’s how to save time and avoid the wrong hire:

✅ Check Their Work

Look at real products they’ve built. If they don’t have anything impressive to show, run.

✅ Give a Mini Test

Talk is cheap. Give them a mini real-world task — it reveals everything.

✅ Hire Specialists

Don’t hire a “do-it-all” dev. If you’re building SaaS, get someone with real SaaS experience. Period.

Freelancers Seem Great. Until They’re Not.

Even good freelancers can be tough to work with:

• Unavailable when you need them

• Slow to respond

• Juggling 5 other clients

• Leave halfway

• Cost creep with every bug fix

• Constant onboarding pains

At first, it’s cheap. In the end, it’s chaotic.

In-House Devs? Too Expensive, Too Early.

Hiring full-time sounds stable — until you do the math:

• Salary

• Benefits

• Office tools

• Downtime when they’re not busy

Unless you’re funded, it’s too much risk too early.
