I'm an edge case, but I recently found a part time dev job at a web game that I had been playing for about 2.5 years prior. In the news header of the game they had an headline that came up every few weeks that said "We are always looking for good devs to join the team". When I was finally ready to commit, I emailed them, had a couple email exchanges and two interviews. One interview over slack and one video interview with the two people I'm most directly working with. Now I'm working there, very happy to be part time, and I'll work there for as long as the game stays popular.
