Have you considered hiring a freelance for building your product [⚠️ this is not an auto-promo]

I have an idea I want to test. For sure, I am not going to jump straight to the code and I am going to test the appetite first. But I was wondering whether when the time comes for building, I could maybe contract a freelancer. I know I could code it myself, but it would take an important chunk of time.

Have you ever made this choice? How did it go? I'd love to hear from you fellow Indie Hackers.
