There are a few things that have some potential, but then I enter in the ethical part of if its OK to take something I have been paid to built as a base for my own business.
Specially because those few things that might be interesting enough are projects that I developed to give some competitive advantage to a specific client on a specific area, so If turn it into a SaaS I burn them.
- michaelbuckbee 11y agoYou definitely can't take code you wrote for other people, but attacking similar problems is usually fair game. Even better, I've seen a few instances where a freelancer agreed to tackle something for a reduced rate with the express agreement that they would also be re-using, reselling that portion of their work. This struck me as very clever as it was a way to keep cash flow up by continuing to freelance, but also to get that crucial first paying customer who can help guide you in building a product.
