AI-Coded Project Debugging Ditch

Best place to hire developers to clean up my AI slop? I don't know how to code, but have built the beginnings of a project using Python + FastAPI. My project has around 50-60k lines of code. I have built this entirely using AI. This is just a side hobby and the application is for personal use, so there's no jeopardy and no time pressure. I'm obviously a proponent of AI-coding and I am pleased with where I've got my application to so far. I could keep going with AI alone, but I've been in a huge debugging ditch for months while I refine it. I'm potentially interested in hiring a developer to tidy my application up and get it to actually work. I feel hiring an expert might actually take less time than with AI, due to a lot of the current issues clearly needing genuine coding knowledge rather than just making AI tools spit out code. What are the best websites to hire people for this kind of work? And how much should I expect to pay?

A Reddit post asks where to hire a developer to clean up a 50–60k-line Python and FastAPI project built entirely with AI. The humor comes from confidently praising AI coding while admitting the project has become an enormous debugging mess and may require real programming expertise to function.
