How To Choose the Right Developer (Without Getting Burned)

Hiring a developer isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a business risk.

Offshoring might look cheaper—until your MVP crashes mid-demo.
Freelancers can move fast—but what happens when they disappear?

So, how do you choose the right developer?

  • Look for a team that asks the right questions.
    They should be obsessed with your business, not just the tech stack.
  • Demand proof, not pitches.
    Case studies, launch outcomes, stakeholder references—real wins, not vaporware.
  • Check their process.
    A good dev partner has a clear SDLC, transparent estimates, and zero fear of deadlines.
  • Pick the partner who de-risks the project.
